What exactly does the command you use look like? There are at least two problems: 1. "fifo had 64 puts" - are you trying to burn something really small? Cos there should be much more puts when burning a CD. 2. Using the -dummy switch with cdrecord only performs a simulation of the writing process, nothing is actually written. To write something you must not use the -dummy switch. I'd recommend a CD-RW for now to get you running without ruining any CD-Rs. -- HTH Roman
