I just got my Optorite DVDRW, drive (12x DVD+R; 8x DVD-R; 4x

2.4x DVD+R9; 40x CD-R; 24x CD-RW; 40x CD-ROM; 12x DVD-ROM) drive from
Newegg and have just installed it. It is 2ndry IDE Master (/dev/hdc
/mnt/cdrom) I also have a Sony 52x CD-ROM, which is 2ndry IDE Slave
(/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom1). I have one TDK 2.4x DVD+RW 4.7GB disc and a 10
pack of Legacy 4x DVD+RW 4.7GB discs, but I am unable to burn on either
of them. I checked my fstab file, and the drive automounts CDs fine (in
KDE) and I just tested the burner by erasing and then recording a Compaq
650mb CD-RW, which was a success. Maybe this drive is not supported in K3B?
============
When I ejected the blank DVD+RW's after the failed burn, they appear to
have data written on the inner part of the disc, but K3B doesn't even
start the write before it fails. Also, my KDE desktop keeps refreshing
as if something is going on in the background, and I am unable to eject
the blank disk without rebooting.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
While that's a lot of information (which is a GOOD THING (tm)) you
didn't include the kernel version you have. At least not that I could
find. If it's 2.6.8-1.521 you need to run k3b as root (su - or sudo)
otherwise it won't burn.
