Intermittent problems like this could be either due to hardware (faulty ribbon) and, or buggy firmware. If this is a recently developed behaviour I would suggest that you start by replacing the ribbon. Using Knoppix (from the hard drive) and K3B will I guess prove the point. > Its surely and definitely a software problem (since you can burn CDs), > and has probably nothing to do with Nero. Nero has brought a couple of updates out (some of them free) and I would suggest that the OP downloads and installs them for good measure, if he hasn't done that already. Additionally, he should update his firmware using the relevant OEM downloads page. > the above, change media (some CDs just don't work), and last, drop > Nero and try XPBurnerPro, its free, simple and works very well. Cool! http://www.cdburnerxp.se/features.php I'll try it out soon. Also, you may want to try http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download (the portable free version). -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
