Hello everyone,
today I finally had the chance to test the hardware with another OS
installed on the same machine. I used Windows 2000 (forgive me) with
a software called "Infra Recorder" which is supposedly a cdrecord
frontend for windows.
I haven't tested every detail yet, but so far, the drive works just
fine, it created a bootable Knoppix DVD without a hitch. So something
on the Linux side seems to prevent the drive from working, probably
the Linux SATA VIA Controller driver?
Any suggestions on where to go from here?
Regards
Andreas Klauer
