    Hi,

    I always use my LITE-ON LTR-12101B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive to write to
    CD-RW disks, in either woody or sarge.

    Today I was asked to copy an audio CD, which I did.

    To my surprise cdrecord would not write to the CD-R disk, but would to a
    CD-RW one.

    I tried 2 different CD-R disks, from different manufacturers.

    The error you get is:

    /hdb7Sun Apr 25-18:54:38HDB1# cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -audio
    /hdb7/track*
    ...
    cdrecord: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error
    CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00
    status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
    Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A 01 00 00
    Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0
    Sense Code: 0x3A Qual 0x01 (medium not present - tray closed) Fru 0x0
    Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid)
    cmd finished after 3.669s timeout 40s
    cdrecord: No disk / Wrong disk!
    /hdb7Sun Apr 25-18:57:05HDB1# exit

    And it takes him 3 minutes to come to that conclusion.

    I can read from CD-R or CD-RW, I can write to CD-RW but I get this with
    a CD-R.

    What's the consensus, the drive went bad? Why will it write to CD-RW and
    not to CD-R?

    Thanks!

    Hugo
