Hello, suddenly, I can't burn CDs without a strange error message anymore. I have no idea why, so I hope you can help me, because I don't like error messages without reason.
Now the details: Shortly before something went wrong I burned the first pile of CDs for my thesis with this command perfectly fine (i.e. without error Message): [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > cdrecord speed=4 diplomarbeit-01.img If I do it now, this is the result (I added the -v because I hoped to get more relevant information, but the error message at the end is exactly the same without -v). I marked the offending place with " | ": ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > cdrecord speed=4 -v diplomarbeit-01.img Cdrecord 2.01a10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jörg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '4,0' scsibus: 0 target: 4 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.22 Using libscg version 'schily-0.7' atapi: 0 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 2 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : SYNC LINKED Vendor_info : 'PLEXTOR ' Identifikation : 'CD-R PX-W1210S' Revision : '1.02' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.

But I don't like the line cdrecord: Input/output error. plextor get speedlist: scsi sendcmd: no error I didn't have this "error" earlier and strangely enough, I don't have this error if I copy CDs on the fly with cdrdao: cdrdao copy --speed 10 --on-the-fly Works perfectly fine, while I get exactly the same error if I burn a cd image with cdrdao... I have another cd writer in my system. If I do the same with the other writer, I get exactly the same error, too...
