faulty drive?
Hello,
I've been having some difficulty reading audio cd's with cdrdao and
writing them with cdrecord. I have a TDK VeloCD 40x??x48 burner[2] with
firmware revision "lt00" (2000 maybe?) and set in lilo.conf to
"hda=ide-scsi", tweaked with hdparm at startup[1].
With cdrdao, it causes my drive to make a buzzing or grinding sound (as if
the spindle motor is scraping against something). This happened on one
disc (but not on another); furthermore, I tried reading the disc with
cdparanoia -B and it didn't cause those noises. I used the generic-mmc
driver. BTW, cdrdao reads *very very very* slowly.
When I use cdrecord to write images, I get strange error messages[3] which
lead me to suspect that my drive is failing. I've only had it for a year
or two. I suspect the heat inside the case has damaged the drive (it gets
very hot in there). Should I justreplace my cd-r, or is this a software
problem?
I use debian sid with the latest cdrecording tools on an 1.0 ghz athlon
(asus a7v133 motherboard) with 1.5 GB PC133 RAM and Linux kernel 2.4.20
with preempt patch installed (but no o(1) scheduler).
This problem, btw, started happening a month ago. The burning process
sometimes just flakes out halfway through its run; otherwise it may not
burn at all. Again, I suspect the heat as it is my custom to leave my
computer on.
Thanks for your help,
Roey Katz
