Edd Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) I am trying to burn suse ISO onto a DVD. I downloaded it earlier, the check sums are fine but when I burn the image in k3b it fails and says there was a "Input/Output Error" What could be causing this problem? Thanks a lot!

devries Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Probably a permission problem. Run the k3bsetup program from the kde control center and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I checked that, it all looked ok. I tried running k3b as root too but still got the same error. Any body got any other ideas as to why this error may be occuring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) Are you correctly trying to burn it as an ISO or are you doing it as a data dvd. If you are doing it as a data dvd you are doing it WRONG. Follow the burn iso routine. Select Tools then Burn DVD ISO Image. For best reliability, burn at the slowest speed possible rather than Auto.

Edd Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yeah that's what I did, but same error. I have got it downloading on my Windows PC cus I know the burner works fine on that. Don't wanna waste any more discs. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Am I correct in presuming you used Nero in Windows ???. You were still doing something incorrectly or did not install the additional dvd packages necessary for burning dvds in k3b. k3b is far superior to Nero nowdays. It would still be worth your while to find out why you could not burn a dvd in k3b. I do it regularly and have NEVER had a failed dvd or cd burn in this past year and I am no genius so if I can do then anyone can. Cheers. John.

Edd Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) Well I've burnt normal DVD's using k3b before, it's just the ISO that failed. How can I check I have the additional DVD packages installed? (and yes, I did use Nero on Windows, Nero 6 Ultra Edition to be precise) Edited August 2, 2005 by Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Where is your .ISO image stored? If it is on a FAT32 partition and it's larger than 4G, then it's already borked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Nope, was stored in my home directory, and was 3.1GB in size. All the checksums were correct and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) Well, if "md5sum abcde.iso" returned you the right checksum, slot in a good quality media and retry- if K3B fails again, try cdrecord from CLI. For the record, K3B works fine here- has recorded tons of CD's and DVD's including ISO files (currently using 0.12.2 under Arch Linux 0.7+).

AussieJohn Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I would also advise installing.........dvd+rw-tools... to see if that helps perhaps with the type of media you are using. Also try to get the latest possible version of k3b since I see a lot of bug fixes relative to dvd in there. Cheers. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
