I really don't have much experience of cd recording by any means, so, I'm not hard and fast on any method. I have used gui's a bit though. I really like Linux, and the opportunities it provides for those of different style and ability to use CL or gui, or, both. Lots of helpful folks like yourself on this list make learning a relatively painless endeavor. ;-) Thanks.

The SCSI support is compiled into the kernel, apparently, since my SCSI CD-ROM works OK. For some reason, I can't get the CDRW to work and Gcombust can't find it and cdrecord -scanbus can't find it.

Re: [newbie] CDRW compatability
Hi, Nope; out of the box, the installer found it and installed it correctly (and installed the ide-scsi package, with correct additions to LILO). I use cdrecord from the command line. Works beautifully (the BURN-Proof is a dream :) I compile/install/download/browse/etc./etc... while burning with NO problems), but for some reason when I use GCombust or gtoaster (or XCDRoast or ANY GUI that uses cdrecord), there is inevitably a problem, where I can't start the burn process, I would say 9 times out of 10; but this is not a problem with the drive from what I can see, because same thing happened with a Sony I had when running SuSE in a different system.

Nothing seems to be written on the cdrom! I also have used gcombust and gtoaster and get the same results...seems to burn but nothing gets written on the cdrom. I know the cdrw works because I can burn cdroms using the M$ dual boot side of the machine. Any ideas on why it seems to work but does not burn anything?

I've got a Plextor 12x4x32 CDRW, with an Adaptec 2930cu SCSI card, under Mandrake v8.0. It installed fine, seem to be found. I can click on my CD icon under KDE and it lists the contents. I used cdrecord to test a small burn, that worked. The problem is when I copy files from the CD to my HD...I can copy something like a 6 meg MP3, and according to Konqueror, it immediately copies around 4 megs or so...then times out for about 20-30 seconds, then the rest of the file is copied.

Re: [newbie] CDRW/DVD won't mount
Ok, Let start with the obvious. Would you mind posting a copy of your "/etc/fstab" file and your "/etc/mtab" file. This will help me determine. what file system types you currently have and if there might be a possibility of a conflict. Furthermore, try to see if you can set the permissions on "/dev/cdrom" and "/dev/cdrom1", by typing in: chmod 700 /dev/cdrom1 chmod 700 /dev/cdrom An I/O error with a wrong FS would definately confirm that you have some kind of conflict. Anyhow, I'll see what I can do :-) You might even try running a program called "kudzu" which will detect new hardware.

[newbie] CDRW/DVD won't mount
I have a Toshiba CDRW/DVD combo drive. ML7.2 installed fine from CD, but now I can't read CDs -- even the ML install CDs -- on it. The ML install set me up with supermount; I verified that with my /etc/fstab. As a normal user I get a permissions problem with /mnt/cdrom. As root I get an I/O error when trying to read it directly (ls /mnt/cdrom), and a "wrong fs type, bad block or [something else, don't recall]" error when trying to mount it from the command line (it dismounted without error first).

Well here we go again. I finally got my system working again, after loosing a big chunk of ram, and now I'm trying to get the cdrw up and running. Only problem is I can't get permission to /mnt/cdrom and using the tutorial instructions I get back an " can't remove cdrom, file or directory does not exist. Hard drake shows the cdrom as both hdb and scd0? Any one out there worked through this or do I need to start another reinstall? -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842

[newbie] CDRW
Hi there. I will post this question for second time since my question at the first time was confusing. The story goes like this. I have a DVD (which was set up as cdrom1) and a CDRW (which was set up as cdrom2) I went to Mandrake's site and followed the instructions as to how to make the CDRW to work. Unfortunately I did not know that they have two set of instructions if you have two cdroms. Now what happened is that I lost both my cdroms. Whenever I put a CD I get the message that cannot open file on or cannot list contents. The command I gave following Mandrake's example was << cd /dev && rm cdrom && ln -s scd0 cdrom >> Is there a way I can reverse the command (for example remove scd0 and create a link to my first cdrom) so I can get back my CDROM Any help will appreciated.
Re: [newbie] CDRW Mounting problems
I have been told that your not supposed to mount a cd rw, just do a burn to it and if you do mount it, that would be making it act like a cd rom, so in the case of a cdrw, it would be no mounting if you just want to record.

Re: [newbie] CDRW drive
This is one way, but supposedly more things work if it can fake it into being a scsi device. Try the /dev/sd0 approach first. If you decide to not have it be an emulated scsi you will have to fix /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo.

You can get information on it at: http://www.fh-muenchen.de/rz/xcdroast It came with my Mandrake 6.1 distribution. X-CD-Roast uses a command line program "cdrecord". The home page for cdrecord has all the information you may need to set up your cdrw. It can be found at: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html The information for ide/atapi drives are at: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/man/README/README.ATAPI There was also a discussion regarding this on the KDE mail list.

Re: [newbie] cdrw
as a followup, i wrote to the author of the cd-writing howto. i asked if one wrote to a cdrw the same way one writes to a cdr. he replied that there was no difference in writing but that the cdrw should be blanked before rewriting. i asked the original question because when i was in windows, i had to use special software to write cdrw. i have now discovered, like so many other windows products, it is unneeded. thanks for the replies guys :P John Aldrich wrote: > > On Sat, 16 Oct 1999, you wrote: > > since i dont want to mess up a perfectly good cdrw disc, is it alright > > to write to them as i would any cdr? in other words, are there any > > special tricks or is it business as usual? > > > > [yes or no would be an appropriate answer, not a lecture on my reading > > skills] > > > Caveat: I don't have one yet, but I intend to purchase a CDRW. :-) > It should work just fine to use a CDRW as a plain CDR.

Re: [newbie] cdrw
I suggest you re-read the cd-writing howto. The necessary information is there. I have a HP7200i IDE/ATAPI drive and are able to use both CDR and CDRW. A good program to erase CDRW is gcombust. I don't mean to be rude here, but before you ask for help please READ and try to COMPREHEND. Sometimes it is necessary to re-read a document, since some of them are very detailed and contain too much information to be digested at once. You are going to need strong reading skills if you want to succeed as a Linux user. Sorry about it but it is the cold hard truth.
