Hi, My setup: Debian Sarge on AMD Athlon (32bit). DVD burner: LG GSA-4163B CD Burner: LG GCE-8520B
I use KDE and K3B to manage the burners. In order to verify that the copying is correct, I did it in multiple steps - 1. create an image on the disk. 2. mount image and cd, run "diff -r" 3. umount image and cd 4. burn image to a new cd When I read the original on the DVD, stage (2) *invariably* detected differences, not just between the image file and the original media but also between two image files read from the same media twice. Moving the original to the CD burner solved the problem - the "diff" passed cleanly and so did the comparison after burning the image on a new media. Does this mean that my DVD burner is bad and I should replace it or should have I used some option to make it work? I use K3b's "normal copy". I didn't quite understand what's "clone copy", I guess it copies the media at the bit level without caring about its format. Here is the output from K3b's: Devices ----------------------- HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B A104 (/dev/hdd, ) at /media/cdrom1 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM; DVD-RAM; DVD-R; DVD-RW; DVD+R; DVD+RW] [DVD-ROM; DVD-R Sequential; DVD-RAM; DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite; DVD-RW Sequential; DVD+RW; DVD+R; DVD+R Double Layer; CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R16; RAW/R96P; RAW/R96R] HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8520B 1.00 (/dev/hdc, ) at /media/cdrom0 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM] [CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R16; RAW/R96P; RAW/R96R] Thanks, --Amos ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
