Hi, Can anyone help? I have been struggling with this problem for ages, RTFM etc. hasn't resolved it for me.
MDK9.1. Using cdrecord on the CLI. My Sony CD-writer writes happily to a Toshiba CD-RW, single or multi-session ,etc.with no problem; but the same drive will not write anything to a CD-R (I've tried Sony Supremas, Kodak Ultima 80, Packard Bell 1-32x). The messages I get are all minor variations on the following, and the commands minor variations on "cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -data image-name" (burnfree ON,OFF; multi, no multi,etc) Under win 98 the drive writes without any problem to the same CD-R disks refused by cdrecord. What the h**l is going on? Could the error message below - ...."Sense Code: 0x73 Qual 0x03 (power calibration area error)......" mean that the cdrecord power settings are not correct for CD-Rs (but OK for CD-RWs) for this Sony writer? If so, what to do about it?
