No, there were no timeouts in single mode even without a CD in the drive. Auch, scrap the last paragraph. You actually did. Sorry about that. ;-) Well, partly my fault for letting Gmail give it the wrong MIME type. Should have made the filenames end in .txt. I see your controller is ICH7 and the errors are over ten minutes apart. It really seems that HAL, smartd, hddtemp or whatever is poking the dvd writer and it isn't happy about it. In addition to the above questions, you can read cd/dvd's using the drive, right? Yes, the optical drive itself works great; I can even burn DVDs.
