It looks like my burner is being picky about the disks that are in it. It will burn onto a CDRW, but with a CDR inserted, says No Disk/Wrong Disk. Here's an error dump:

Code:

scsidev: '0,0,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0

Any suggestions on solving this?

I know some drives and media combinations do not play nicely with each other. Each drive manufacturer even publishes (well maybe not all of them, but surely most of them) which media brands are recommended. If I were you I would try a different CD-R media (brand and speed.)

Unfortunately Creative does not seem to provide any information regarding recommended media on their web page or in the downloadable product manual (pdf). I'd specifically try to get a "name brand" CD-R media and try again.

Hope you can find some answers somehow!

Also moving this thread from Multimedia Forum to Hardware & Laptops.

I had the same on my ancient Philips CDD3610.
After a firmware upgrade it was OK again.

Just before it quit writing forever, it also quit writing CDRs while CDRWs were no problem.

I've burned onto these discs before and I also have some Sony's that won't work either, so I'm pretty sure it's not the media. I'll try the firmware upgrade and see if that works.

There are no firmware updates on Creative's site for *nix. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Anyone have any other ideas?

Firmware is not *nix-specific, but hardware specific.
You's probably need a DOS disk to flash your burner anyway.

There aren't any firmware updates posted for any other OS, either. This could be a good excuse for new hardware. :)
