Help with cdrecord
 

i have an ide-cd burner (cendyne) and using xcdroast
to burn the cds. the ide-scsi emulation works fine but
somehow i am unable to burn the cds.

the message i get is

cdrecord: Resource Temporarily unavailable OPC failed.



any help.

Is xcdroast configured correctly? Are you using the correct device and speed? Does it work with the command line cdrecord?

# CD burning info
Is it configured and what is the device? Command this to find out:
cdrecord -scanbus

# Generate an ISO from a directory.
mkisofs -Jr -o foo.iso /path/to/directory
mkisofs -vrTJUV "Label" -o foo.iso /path/to/directory

# Erase a CDRW
cdrecord -v dev=<your device> speed=<burning speed> blank=fast

cdrecord -scanbus gives the desired output....and
even lsmod shows me that ide-scsi module and sg
modules are being used by the same device.

the configuration seems to be ok. moreover xcdroast
doesnt proceed further i think if the ide-scsi emulation
is not working properly.

Will cdrecord do the job in the command line?

If so, you just haven't figured out how to use xcdroast.

Just for Grins you might want to try another application,

I prefer K3B over xcdroast, I've had better luck with it.
