Hello, My K3B suddenly can't burn DVD anymore. Whenever I tried to burn DVD, it complained that it couldn't find media in /dev/hdc (although the DVD+R is there) and asked me to insert an "empty of appendable Double layer DVD+-R". Why does it do that ? and why it asked me for a double layer media ? my data is < 4GB. When this happens, I suddenly get this in my /var/log/message: Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: hdc: packet command error: error=0x40 { LastFailedSense=0x04 } Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: ATAPI device hdc: Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: Error: Hardware error -- (Sense key=0x04) Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: Tracking servo failure -- (asc=0x09, ascq=0x01) Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was: Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " I am not so sure if this is a device failure. Two days ago I could burn DVD just fine. Just now, I tried to burn CD with the same device and it worked fine. Any help ? Thank you in advance. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
