can't burn CDs - cdrecord problem [SOLVED]

[darwin]

Hi all,

 

I've a big problem with my burner; i can't burn at all even when i'm root (with k3b, xcdroast .......).

 

When i do a cdrecord scanbus my burner is not recognised and at his place i've my SATA HD.

 

scsibus0:
       0,0,0     0) 'ATA     ' 'WDC WD1600JD-00H' '08.0' Disk
       0,1,0     1) *
       0,2,0     2) *
       0,3,0     3) *
       0,4,0     4) *
       0,5,0     5) *
       0,6,0     6) *
       0,7,0     7) *

 

The problem is that i'm able to read CDs and used to burn with previous version of mandrake (9,10).

 

k3b's log :

is your burner really scsi? it seems from the log that's what it's saying, but more than likely it's ide. try running K3B setup & let it re-detect your drives. k3b->tools->k3b setup.

My burner is IDE.

 

When i launch the k3bsetup it finds my burner but i can't burn and get these errors.

I've forgotten that when it fails i get this message "mkisofs didn't exit normally" "unknow error 255' maybe it won't be really helpfull ...

 

You've said that cdrecord is looking for an scsi drive . Where to change this ? How can i let it know it's an IDE drive ? Is there any config files to change ?

 

Thanks

Nobody knows how to fix it ?? :unsure:

Is there anyone to help me ?

 

thanks

I have just finished an AMD64 3500 2.4 /1g ram. It will read CDs but gives me a file size error. It says not enough room and gives me the total of the files. These are good cds, I've used hundreds of them and packed them full and can burn them in 2.5 minutes with XP, same files. It has to be something simple because the 10.1 is a KILLER in every other aspect.

I've finally solved my problem.

I think it's a specific problem to my burner : Sony CRX320E (bulk version of the CRX320A). I don't know why MDK didn't recognise it as a burner ...

 

I've just updated the firware of my burner from NYK1 to NYK5 available on this page (http://sony.storagesupport.com/cdrw/crx320adwn.htm).

 

And now all work perfectly, my burner is recognised :D
