I was wondering if anyone can decode the error messages below?
History: I have a TEAC CD-RW a few years old that has
worked OK until this evening, under Linux. It stopped
working under Win98 over a year ago -- Windows blue-screens
any time you draw its attention to that drive.
So tonight, it is failing under Xcdroast on Linux with the
messages shown below. My question is simple, for anyone who
knows what these diagnostics are talking about: does it look
like the CD drive has finally gone around the bend? Or does
it look more like I'm working with bad media? This shows one
attempt (of three) on new Memorex CD-RW disks, and one
attempt on a new TDK CD-R.
Any pronouncements appreciated. At this point I'm supposing
that I'm in for a trip to the store, but I'm not eager to
spend more money. ...
... so, I'll also be happy to hear opinions on the best
*cheap* deal on a CD writer. (I'm sure someone's going to
tell me to buy a DVD. CDs really do meet my requirements,
so it would take a compelling price to move me to a DVD
burner.)
Thanks,
Vic
