Re: Drive cannot read cd-r



edj <edjlb@xxxxxxxxx>:
CD drive can read commercial cds, can boot from them, can play audio cds
& can play dvds. However, it cannot mount burned cds, i.e., a cd-r.
I've tried to mount cd-rs burned on different machines, but none will
mount on this IBM T30. The cd-r is just not recognized as containing
any data. They do mount on another Linux machine. Is this a software
or hardware problem? Anyone ever experience this?

I've found CDs are a lot like floppies. Dependent on the quality of
the media, the quality of the drives, the speed at which they were
burned, and the software used to burn them, making one burned on one
machine readable by another can be a crap shoot.

Try burning it at the slowest speed the burner supports:

cdrecord speed=4 dev=/dev/hdd -eject -tao -data /scratch/iso/track_01.img
