Dont know if anyone has ever had this problem, When I burn audio cds with xcdroast or k3b it works fine. When I try to burn an iso it says sending cue sheet and freezes up. After I kill cdrecord and the cd burning software, the drive is still spinning and wont open. I end uphaveing to turn the comp off and on again. It has done this with ever kernel version I have used so far. I dont know how to insert one of those scroll boxes so this is what I get from cdrecord at the command line.

I have a memorex 52x cdrw drive. atapi w/ scsi emulation. Again it only works with audio. data freezes the system. I am off to reboot as we speak

thanks for any help

What distro are you using? It might be a good idea to specify a speed as well. Writing too quickly can cause errors. Also if you do anything while it's writing.

cdrecord -v speed=10 driveropts=burnfree dev=:0,0,0 test.iso

If it's an iso I would burn it as slowly as possible.

I will try that. I am using slackware 10.1. Ive tried burning it at several speeds and always get the same result but I will try that command and see if it works. Thanks

patrick

I'm not sure about the colon in dev=:0,0,0

I use dev=0,0,0

when I use cdrecord. It might be different for you.

I tried your command.. and its w/o the : but still give me the same thing.. doesnt make sense.. i can burn audio cds all day with no problems. well if anyone else has any ideas. im wanting to back up my stuff to dvd but cant get the data writing to work. might try to put my roommates drive in and see if it works.
