I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a "limitations of Windows burning capabilities" type question. On the Windows machine, if you insert the media and read with the free Nero Infotool, on the media tab, does it say the disc is blank ? I have version 4 here, and this is up to version 5 now. The "Disc" tab allows you to insert media, and get a reading of it. http://majorgeeks.com/Nero_InfoTool_d120.html With the tool running, I inserted a blank CD. First, the Windows "what do you want to do" dialog showed up. Presumably as a result of the INSERTED response. And then the Infotool read the label on the disc. Type: Blank CD-R Manufacturer ID: Ritek Disc status: Empty Perhaps you could test with that, and see what kind of response you get. Paul

It finds the drive, but when I insert a CD, I get: A disk with an unsupported disk type has been detected in the drive. And every time I right click on the drive icon, I get 'please insert a disk into Drive D.'

I don't know whether it helps but I use "OpenSuSE 11.1" KDE and KB3 to burn CD's. I do drag n drop the ISO onto the K3B icon, once K3B opens it then sits and waits for you to put an appropriate size disc into the drive. After setting it to verify and clicking on "Burn" away it goes. The obvious answer is that the pack of CD's are in some way defective. -- Best Regards: Baron.

Just a WAG... You're not trying to use DVD's in a CD writer... No thats too obvious. :-) -- Best Regards: Baron. |
