Hi,

I have two CD-DVD writers on this machine. It is equipped with a ASUS
P5 which supports IDE and SATA. One of these CD-DVD writers is
connected through IDE.

Here is the output of `lshw' for the problematic CD-DVD writer:

# lshw | grep ND-2500A

*-cdrom:0
description: DVD writer
product: DVD_RW ND-2500A
vendor: _NEC
physical id: 0.0.0
bus info: scsi@0:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/cdrom
logical name: /dev/cdrw
logical name: /dev/dvd
logical name: /dev/dvdrw
logical name: /dev/scd0
logical name: /dev/sr0

serial: [_NEC DVD_RW ND-2500A 1.0603121900
capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r
configuration: ansiversion=5 status=nodisc


The other CD-DVD writer works like a charm, but this one does not,
whatever the interface. I had mainly tried with GNOME's built-in's
burning tool, but it explains me that I should try burning the CD/DVD
at a lower speed. I tried, but even in 1x speed (!) it still fails
after ~2 sec of burning.

Any idea?

Thanks.

It looks like a hardware error, as stated before by the log, but why?
I am sure this is linked with the fact that it is done through IDE,
but Windows does not complain about this.

Thanks.

Can the drive /read/ CDs and DVDs in Windows? In Linux? If not,
certainly try the next suggestion.

Try fiddling with the cables to the drive. Replug them. Move the data
cable around in the computer case.

I thought that I had specified it before, but, according to your
message, I did not explain this in an explicit way.

Under Windows (XP), I am able to read, and write, on any CD or DVD
medium, whatever the writer. I am thus fully able to use the
Linux-problematic CD-DVD-writer under Windows XP. That proves that
cables and related stuff are correctly done. That is the main problem:
Linux cannot make it, while Windows can make it, for once.

Thanks.

Relax. Then I suggest testing a closed-source alternative similar to
what you may know from Windows experience: Nero Linux 4,
http://www.nerolinux.de/. This way you can exclude kernel issues as
potential problem.

Eduard.
