Out of eight rewritables left in this batch, five failed, this is terrible, I've never had problems with Memorex in the past. I'll have to check some of the ones at work and see if they have the same problem (thats over 150 units).

Re: CD-RW disks
I've been using Imation CD-RW 1x-4x compatible for quite a while now with no problems. Could be the vendor?

CD-RW disks
I've been using the CD writer drive that came with my HP pc for a couple of years to write CD-R disks with no problems. It's a TEAC unit according to scanbus, i.e. 0,0,0 0) 'TEAC ' 'CD-W54E ' '1.1C' Removable CD-ROM Now I'm trying to use the few CD-RW disks (TDK 4x to 10x capable) which came with the computer, and I'm getting errors. 'cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 isofs' (made with mkisofs) produces: cdrecord: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x3A Qual 0x00 (medium not present) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 40s cdrecord: No disk / Wrong disk! No joy with ... blank or ... blank --force ... either. Same results with 3 never-used CD_RW blanks (never used) Does anyone have a clue? -- Collins Richey - Denver Area gentoo 1.4 system ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Re: CD-RW disks
from Collins: I've been using the CD writer drive that came with my HP pc for a couple of years to write CD-R disks with no problems. It's a TEAC unit [...] Now I'm trying to use the few CD-RW disks (TDK 4x to 10x capable) which came with the computer, and I'm getting errors. 'cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 [...] Does anyone have a clue? Wy back when I was trying to use cr-rw because at that time there was a buck to be saved, I had disk failures often enough that I never came to think of the process as something I could rely on. I did a bit of literature review, tho none of my own direct research. The consensus of what I found was that the phase change of the alloy used in the rewriteable blanks wasn't entirely reliable or stable. You can imagine the pleasure which might result from spontaneous phase reversion.:-) The synthesis was to the effect that one should use rewriteables only for data that they wanted to lose and that the game of trying to protect against that inevitable data loss wasn't worth the candle. I never did find a credible contrary opinion. R -- http://www.quen.net Fix reason firmly in her seat and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion.
