Anyone want to try a hand with the following error? I get this (ultimately from CDRECORD) using just about any front-end (X-cdroast, cgombust, gtoaster), and the burnt disc is useless. Trying to mount it gives an I/O error. (bash: cd: /mnt/cdrom2: Input/output error) I'm running Mandrake 7.1 stock (except I updated gtoaster to latest with no change). I'm trying to burn an ISO image (Red Hat 7.0) I'm thinking I may have a bum ISO download, but don't know how to check that either. Should I be able to mount the ISO as a loop device and "see" the tree structure? Anyway, the error message ... I should mention that this comes after 100% burn and the drive is ejected (in other words, it looks like it's done everything good, ejects the disc, then errors after I re-insert the disc). Track 01: 0 of 639 MB written. Track 01: writing 30 KB of pad data. Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 670464000/670494720 (327390 sectors). Writing time: 1222.276s ** Editorial note: the drive ejects at this poing, the dialog says 100% complete, but the STOP option ** what's still available, not OK. If I hit STOP, then "stopped at user request". If I just re-insert the ** disc, then it spits out the following and finishes (closes the progress dialog box).
