Hi,
I'm travelling and have access to an older laptop running very
out-of-date Gentoo where I need to burn a DVD if possible. The message
appears to be 'cannot load media with this drive'.
Am I missing something obvious?
Machine info and commands follow. If you need more info please let
me know. We have another one of these laptops purchase at the same
time which does write DVDs but I don't know if it has the same DVD
drive in it.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
The machine is an Asus G73JW with a DVD drive that shows up as:

The first link for the drive was at Amazon. The drive appears to
support DVD-RW which is the only media I have available at this time:

When I attempt to burn an Ubuntu image using cdrecord I see the following:
