This usually means what it sais. As the software develops so will the
error messages as well. Since more modes are supported it wll become
more picky.
So could you please do a
cdrecord -scanbus
or
cdrecord -scanbus -dev=ATAPI
if you have an ATAPI CD drive?
Then next time you try to burn something with cdrecord use the '-v'
flag to get excessive reporting and post it here so we can see what
cdrecord thinks of your CD drive.
Thanks, I downloaded a gui and found that I had to tell it to
use /dev/hdd and then it worked. Was something upgraded that changed
settings on me? As I said, it had worked before. Anyway, I resolved it,
I am not at work, so I don't know what the program was, but it helped to
resolve it.
I think I will have to go into cdrecord.conf and tell it to use default
device /dev/hdd. It is set in there to default device is /dev/cdrom. The
CDW is /dev/cdrom1 though.
