I have tried several -R and -RW disks in k3b, and k3b did not recognise any of them. (The one that apparently burned from cdrecord/command-line yet could not be read is a separate mystery.) I have now burned another backup onto a DVD-RW disk. So, it seems that either k3b, cdrecord, or the drive, no longer will accept -R or 0RW disks. Anne
