    [SOLVED] dvd writer doesn't see blank cd discs.

    Just like I said my dvd writer doesn't see blank cds (it reads and burns properly dvd and reads already written cds).


    sudo mount /dev/hdc
    in konsole says: no medium present.

    Same with K3b - it asks for a blank disc, even if there already is one in the drive. I tried different brands. Also, I can boot the pc with ANY cd or dvd with no problem. It is connected as secondary master with 80 wire flat cable.

    my fstab:

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    # /dev/hda2
    UUID=fb8f08ef-57b3-4e59-b8ae-c0c4c3370749 / reiserfs nouser,defaults,atime,auto,
    rw,dev,exec,suid 0 1
    # /dev/hda1
    UUID=56307779-f607-4e01-88e4-b8f57b6d8b6b /boot ext2 nouser,defaults,atime,auto,

    # /dev/hda3
    UUID=165278d5-b536-40c7-a946-03da378278b7 /home reiserfs nouser,defaults,atime,a
    uto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 2
    # /dev/hda4
    UUID=0dc01894-d9a8-478e-8544-1095224ff726 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

    Any ideas?

    How about udf,iso9660 (instead of "iso9660" only)?

      Nothing really changed...

      Seems it was a hardware problem, because changing drive helped.

        I know this is kind of a late reply but I found this post while trying to solve a problem I had exactly like this post described, so I figured I would put my two cents in to help anyone else who comes across this problem. What I found is my cd burner drive dosen't like certain types of BLANK media (office depot brand 52X 700MB cd-r's #WAA611090328C13 #RFD80M-78343) there may be others but these for sure do NOT work my burner is a Liteon LH-20A1P works fine with memorex media of variuos speeds also works with TDK #LH3149 FK092 3931 D0. Note:the drive will read media burned by other burners on the office depot discs but will not recognise the blank cd's Hope this helps others with the same problem to figure out what is wrong with their system
