Re: Unable to write reliably CD-RW's!
Debian users,
Thanks for all the advice, but unfortunately it didn't help much, sorry!
I'm slightly disappointed that such a basic tool, like burning CD's,
with Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Sarge rev0a (kernel 2.4.27)is so impenetrable.
The Lite-on LTR-24102B has been tested on a Windows-XP machine and it
worked perfectly!
I've tried a new CD/DVD-writer (BenQ DW1650) on my Linux box with
exactly the same problems, something is written to the CD-RW but the
newly written disk can not be mounted. Running cdrecord gives no hints
of possible problems using the -v option.
Is there a way to diagnose the system to look for possible problems?
I've included the dmesg output of my very system.
I don't know whether the discussion list debian-user is the correct
place to ask for an explanation of possible problems related to not
being able to write a descent CD-RW!
The system's mainboard is a K7T266 Pro2 ver.:2.0 ATX (MS-6380), with an
AMD Athlon processor.
Please give it a try!
Gerard
