CD-R does not see the disk in it!
 

I am trying to burn a CD-R and k3b recognizes the cd-r drive, but says 'no disk found' even though there is a blank 700MB disk in the CD-R. Any ideas what the problem may be?

So what distro and kernel are you running? There are known problems with 2.6.8

No, this is Slack 9.1, (2.4.22)
