Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I think it may be xcdroast! All I wanted to do last night was copy a regular cdrom data disk. No mp3's or other fancy stuff. I used the latest version of cdrecord and xcdroast rpm's from the home website. Everything is installed and working correctly. First, I tried reading the cdrom to disk. That worked just fine. I then tried verifying the freshly read data and I got a single error that appeared in the same place everytime about there being a short read error?? Moving right along I selected to copy the disk on the fly. What I ended up with was a garbage disk of the correct size but instead of data there was an empty file with the name of the mount point ie /mnt/cdrom. I even tried writing from the saved file with the exact same results. I tried both DAO and TAO...same results. There were no errors listed by xcdroast. It thought everything was just peachy! Anyone with pointers on what I did wrong other than booting to windows in frustration and completing the copy there with easy cd creator on the first try?
