Subject: [twincling] cdrom is ATAPI but cdrecord takes it as SCSI

Hello Friends


I am using a Sony CDROM writer drive and it is ATAPI. On running

cdrecord with option as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc aksar-music. iso it

says that it is writing to a SCSI device and after 99% writing gives

'error fixating'.

Can somebody please help me how to specify ATAPI for my cdrom drive ?

as already one cd is spoiled.



cheers

Ashish

Hi Ashish,

I found some solution on this page: 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATAPI_CD_Burning

Basically you should issue this command to see the devices attached
cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus

Note down the device name which appears sort of like 0,4,2 and then burn it with

cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,4,2 /tmp/image.iso

I prefer using a GUI tool like XCdRoast or K3B to make things easier.
