I'm on my second new CD drive in a month. The first was failing to burn useful CDs - could not do bootable CDs, data-cds were hit and miss if they worked, etc.

Now that I have a brand new drive, K3B is having nothing but problems writing. As near as I can tell it is getting a hardware error when writing. But this is a BRAND NEW drive just bought today, which seems to function fine other than burning.

I had problems with permissions initally - K3B complained that it didn't have permission to run cdrecord (which is now 'wodim' in *buntu due to some licensing issues). I ripped out K3B, and the related tools, then reinstalled them until I was able to at least start K3B without warnings/errors. But I think the original problem may be that the system now has two different drives set up, maybe....

When I try to burn a CD (with Brasero or K3B) the cue sheet is "sent", but then when it tries to write the data it fails immediately and the debug logs give me this:

Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error

Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) actual retry count 0
cmd finished after 0.959s timeout 200s
/usr/bin/wodim: A write error occured.
/usr/bin/wodim: Please properly read the error message above.
write track data: error after 23427072 bytes

Is this something worth trying to fix? Or should I return the drive and go with a different brand (new drive is a Samsung)
