Hallo Bryan,
Thanks for your reply.
I think I found the problem today: the hp7200i-writer is faulty. I took
it to my friend who has one on his Windows 98 system. He connected it and
could not successfully write to the CD-RW-disc (the one that came with the
writer and the same one he formatted successfully the day before). He
then tried another new CD-RW disc also without success.
I am sad about this because I could get this HP7200 for a very reasonable
price - about 40% cheaper than the normal price. Now, obviously, I am not
going to buy that drive and I do not now have the money to buy one at the
normal price. Maybe later.
I really appreciate the help of people like you. That makes linux a
pleasure. I am keeping your messages and when I try out another cdwriter
- hopefully within the next few months, I will refer back to it.
Johann
