That suggests a bad disk - OPC is Optimum Power Calibration and is a
test done on all discs to find out how must power is needed to
optimally
write to the disc (can only be done 99 times on any disk) IIRC.
Have you tried with another disk?
Thanks for the suggestion.
I am now in the process of writing the image file using a different
make of
disc.
How silly of me to think that if discs work on windows they should
work on
linux!!!!
don't assume it's the os...could very well be the burner. unless
it's the same box and dual-boot?
I've been working with burners since there was only 1x scsi cdr and
the media was $25/each. There has ALWAYS been great variation in
media and burner compatibility. It's a LOT better than it used to
be, but still....
Thanks for all who have helped
