I have been trying to get a HP7200i to successfully write CD's and had no success so far. I am beginning to doubt whether I will ever be able to write CD's with Linux. And I cannot do it with windows because I do not have windows95 or NT.
I have even upgraded my kernel to 2.2.7 because I suspected my 2.0.34 kernel to be the problem, but that did not solve anything. I regularly get the following error message and I hope somebody can help me to pinpoint the problem in order to solve it: (This was an effort by cdrecord to blank a RW-CD) -------------------------------- Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 1 Vendor_info : 'HP ' Identifikation : 'CD-Writer+ 7200 ' Revision : '3.01' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.
