I have seen firmware in CD (and old SCSI drives) which got so hosed the drive needed a power cycle to clear its head. So a reboot might not always fix the drive, but a power cycle would. Okay, I hate to p/c my system board, I have been known to unplug a drive (NOT recommended). If you run Linux you can try powering down the interface with hdparm, I remember that was discussed WRT hot swapping IDE drives, needing to unpower the drive and the cable. WARNING: may take a p/c to recover, may hang your system, do NOT do it if you have a disk drive on the same cable. That's a bad idea anyway, of course.On Monday 15 December 2003 06:00, Joerg Schilling wrote:Did you try cdrecord-ProDVD? ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/ JörgThe drive appears to back to functioning once again. I had to reboot several times. I was able to do what I wanted to do though and that was to burn the same image using sdd. I hadn't actaully tried it. Probably because I didn't think it was that much different than growisofs. But sdd also has the same problem that after it burns the media, it is not readable.
