CD-R: Device recognized, blank CD in it is not!
Although the device per se (/dev/sr0) is seen by, for instance k3b,
when I click it it says no disk found(there is a blank CD in it alright) Any tips what to check? |
So what are you trying to accomplish? You can not mount a blank CD.
|
I want to write some directories to that blank CD and when it comes to the burning step it says disk not found
Also, even when I put a non-blank data CD in the CD-R and click it, it still says disk not found Are you saying I need to do mount /dev/sr0 ? Then why does k3b see the device if it's not already mounted? |

What distribution and kernel are you running? |
Distro is Slack 9.1 (2.4.22)
I get a disk not found also for a non-blank CD |
I'm not too familar with Slack. However, your CDRW should be configured for SCSI simulation and the device ID is usually /dev/scd0.
What does /etc/fstab say is the device ID for the drive? If it is something like /dev/cdrom then also post the output of ls -l /dev/cdrom |
You may also try running the k3b-setup program as root. It will modify the fstab entries if needed. If you use lilo, post the append= line for the /etc/lilo.conf stanza you boot up to.

Not too sure about the CD-R thing, I just thought I'd throw in my $0.02 :) |
here is fstab:

Just to make sure, run Code:
You made sure that /dev/sr0 is linked to /dev/hdd I presume? |
