Hello! I have two hp pavilion laptops, both are the same machines purchased the same day. I had opensuse 10.2 on both and then switched to fedora 7. Now the machine that my wife uses will not burn a dvd, it will burn cd and cdrw discs but not a dvd. I figured that the drive went bad and I called hp tech support, they told me it was a configuration issue not hardware since it will burn cd and not dvd. I did an ls -al of /dev/scd0 on my machine (the one that still burns dvds) and this was the result: brw-rw----+ 1 eagle1 disk 11, 0 2007-06-24 17:50 /dev/scd0 I then did the same on my wifes computer (the one that will not burn a dvd) and this was the result: brw-------+ 1 panda1 disk 11, 0 2007-06-24 20:56 /dev/scd0 I only see one small difference in the two listings, could this be the problem of why it will not burn a dvd disc? Or, should I be more insistent on have the hardware replaced? It does seem strange that it worked fine until I switched to fedora 7 from opensuse 10.2. Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org
