Unable to blank CD-RW

Hi folks,

Ubuntu Desktop 7.04
Gnome desktop
k3b

I have tried more than an hour and can't erase the CDRW nor to burn iso image on it by force.

Start K3b as user. On inserting the CDRW on the tray it mounts automatically. I select [force] to burn it. Failed with warning
Code:

Please help. TIA

Hi. I've got the following note. I regret that I don't know what "blank mode" means:

I have a CDWriter and a CDRom connected here. I can't find their device notation by;

# cdrecord -scanbus

Nor by;

# wodim -scanbus


Edit:
Burning iso image on CD-RW works w/o problem.

I think this is a bug;

Bug #114122 in cdrkit (Ubuntu)
Burner not working in 7,04
