Hi all,
(I know there are plenty of threads reporting problems with cdrecord.
I reckon that my conditions are different from those reported).
The problem:
I am trying to burn a DVD with cdrecord on FC3.
Cdrecord recognises the drive, but always complains that
"CD/DVD-Recorder not ready" when I try to burn.
The software versions:
kernel: 2.6.10-1.766_FC3
cdrecord: Cdrecord-Clone 2.01-dvd
The hardware:
DVD burner is a Plextor PX-716A
The result from "cdrecord -scanbus":
Code:
root$ cdrecord -scanbus

Mind you, I get the same error if I try any of the following devices instead of dev=/dev/hdb:

Thanks in advance for your time and for any help you can give me!
