I have just tried to make a DVD recording for the first time in about a

That's actually a cracking idea. We did sometimes used to use cloning
devices but they were a bit touch and go.
Is it still possible to use a customized disk though? Because the

every so often.
Thanks once again.

Hello, Ubuntistas.
I've been struggling for a while trying to work out what is wrong with
the DVD writer on my Asus A6K laptop under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: Seems that

DVD burning libraries can only write to virgin DVD media, or

Haha - ain't it great when people don't quite know what they're talking about
(like me sometimes!). At least when a customer asks me something, I'm stupid
enough to say I don't know, then look it up on Google :S better safe than sorry

Yes, you're right James... that's why I haven't criticised the staff
in my post above. If we want them to be consultants then companies
