Switching to DAO mode is a part clue... 2lh only seems to be associated with 5 ... suggests it tried a packet read function and switched to Disk At Once... I dont think this is a problem .. just odd it is reported... >>> /dev/hdc: reserving 2278432 blocks >>> :-[ RESERVE TRACK failed with SK=5h/ASC=30h/ACQ=05h]: Wrong medium type >> This means the drive does not support (or recognise) > the media. > > You mean the actual drive (meaning it's physically unable to burn DVD-R, but > that's not the case from the reviews I've found) or its software driver / > device file?

I do not think the list is comprehensive ... To get more you need to look at source code... This could be bad media .. (needs to be eliminated from equation).. if you are trying with something that has already failed to be written to you can get this response... If you have not already done this try again with fresh media, BTW it is possible to recover the media with DVD+RW media but R media it is one shot and thats it, in the original post you did do a blanking operation (which should have failed) but if it succeeded will have created a blank unwriteable disk. Do not attempt to format a +R disk... Otherwise, the last time I came across this kind of issue was with a possibly flakey tape unit sharing the same cable as the the DVD unit. If the device is sharing the cable with something else disconnect the something else and try again. Not clear what else is on machine but putting devices with different data transfer rates on the same cable can cause some difficulty if one is misbehaving. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
