One possibility is the drive is no good. I've had to replace quite a
few drives, and are the most-replaced item on my boxes. [Stopped
buying Sony after losing half a dozen drives with short lives.]

Sometimes the symptoms can be quite odd. For example, a well-used
drive on my linux box got flaky. I moved it to a win box and it worked
fine. I was then sure the problem MUST be in the lin box and fiddled a
lot to get it to work, with no results. I finally bought another one
just like it on sale, installed it in the lin box, and it was fine.
Never did figure out what kept k3b and that particular drive from
getting along.
