I've always used k3b, Squeeze sees the disc as blank, k3b see the disc 
as fully used, I can format the disc and burn a image and it's the same 
thing over again, Squeeze sees the disc as blank, k3b see the disc as 
fully used, on your advice I gave brasero a try, I had not used brasero 
before and it only say "no disc in drive", these are "imation DVD-RW" 
disc and they are worthless for my Debian. :-(
