Hi everyone,

I am hoping someone out there can tell me what's why I can't get Red Hat 9 to burn CDs. Here is the situation. I have an old 4x Yamaha SCSI burner, a Lite-On 52x-32x-52x burner, and a regular Lite-On 52x CD-ROM. I have tried buring with gtoaster and xcdroast. Both programs fail. Both programs will also only try to burn to the 4x Yamaha burner, but will see the Lite-On burner and let me read from it. (but not burn to it) When I try to start burning in X-CD-Roast I get the following error:

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Have you tried using cdrecord directly on your Lite-On burner?

You may want to try K3B for CD burning. Works great, nice interface.

Just a couple of things come to mind in tryng to help

Do you have the Lite-On burner mounted as read only?
Does the user have write permission to the drive?
I have an old 8X8X32 drive that does not have buffer overrun protection and you can only write to it in small bits. You can't burn an .iso to it for example. That was a problem with some of those older burners.
Post your fstab for people to see.
That is at /etc/fstab

i have the same problem. can someone expand ot burner-lite or whatever? here is my /etc/fstab:
