Hi,

I have two CD-DVD writers on this machine. It is equipped with a ASUS
P5 which supports IDE and SATA. One of these CD-DVD writers is
connected through IDE.

Here is the output of `lshw' for the problematic CD-DVD writer:

# lshw | grep ND-2500A

              *-cdrom:0
                   description: DVD writer
                   product: DVD_RW ND-2500A
                   vendor: _NEC
                   physical id: 0.0.0
                   bus info: scsi@0:0.0.0
                   logical name: /dev/cdrom
                   logical name: /dev/cdrw
                   logical name: /dev/dvd
                   logical name: /dev/dvdrw
                   logical name: /dev/scd0
                   logical name: /dev/sr0
                   version: 1.06
                   serial: [_NEC    DVD_RW ND-2500A 1.0603121900
                   capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r
                   configuration: ansiversion=5 status=nodisc


The other CD-DVD writer works like a charm, but this one does not,
whatever the interface. I had mainly tried with GNOME's built-in's
burning tool, but it explains me that I should try burning the CD/DVD
at a lower speed. I tried, but even in 1x speed (!) it still fails
after ~2 sec of burning.

Any idea?

Thanks.
