Can't burn a CD [solved]

Recommended Posts

I have Mandriva 2007.1 installed and, as far as I can tell, it installed properly. I'm using it right now to post this. My problem is that the CD burning software can't tell that a blank disk is in the drive. I have been through the system configuration tabs and everything looks right.

 

Any ideas on what I need to do next?

Are you sure your cd drive supports the media your using (CD-R,CD-RW)? What brand/model drive do you have? What app are you using?

 

 

Good question. I need to go to bed but tomorrow I'll start switching stuff around and testing it with a newer unit that I have, and see if the problem is that I'm trying to get away with using hardware that ought to be in a landfill rather than in my PC.

 

Thanks

 

EDIT: It was old hardware. With a newer burner unit it worked perfectly. Thanks.
