I have failed the writing of an ISO several times. Am I making an error, is the K3b defective, or is the distribution causing the problem, or is my burner broken. I am attempting to install and try Manjaro-xfce or Manjaro-kde but cannot create a working IOS.

Thanks Shab

To burn an iso to disc to make a live CD/DVD OS or OS installer, use K3b.
When you open K3b, you want to choose (by left-clicking) "More Actions ..." and from that drop-down menu, choose "Burn Image." Then a burning screen will pop up from which to proceed. Make sure you inserted a blank CD/DVD into your computer. If you get a message like "disc not found" or similar, pop the disc out of your computer and re-insert it and wait for K3b to recognize it. Repeat as necessary.

That is exactly what I did, so it has to be one the things mentioned in my Post. Or perhaps something else. Anyway, I use my DVDRW so little any more, I wanted to see if I have forgotten something. I am unable to analyse and understand the data I included. It came from K3b explaining the problem. Thanks Mike Shab

Poor quality DVDs or CDs can give burn errors. They are also the ones that suffer data rot very quickly just setting on the shelf.

Thanks Dave, I used to have 2 DVDRW's but one stopped working. When trying to repair it, I found a small rubber band that makes the drive work, I believe. I haven't remembered to purchase a new band, but intend doing so. My other DVDrw just broke, I think the same way. I can't open the drawer and think that band is shot. I was able to use the DVD prior to that happening, so I believe is still working and just in need of the rubber band.

I haven't used my DVD much since USB's became popular. Still I think I should retain a DVDrw, at least for a little longer. I watched a fellow from the Netherlands make the same repair using a rubber band he salvaged from a cable he purchased. It was too wide, so he cut it in half. It worked perfectly. I was impressed. I am sure we throw away many valuable components rather than try to save what is still functional and easy to fix. I am going to try to fix mine.

Apparently in time, the rubber used for this purpose dries and breaks. Something worth less than a penny fixes the problem.

After a couple of years, RodJ configured my Brother printer. He is a great and humble guy. We connected via Teamviewer and I got to watch. I learned more in that time than any other since I have been computing. I am so very happy to have a working printer again. We take things for granted until we face what seems like insurmountable problems. I hadn't given up after 2 years of trying to solve the problem, until big-hearted Rod came along. Thank you for your continued help and great success in your work, my friend. Cheers
