I have a 7040a. I installed it, used it to write 30 or 40 disks, no problem. I decide to start ripping my CD collection and putting them on my server. I get through about 30, and then I start getting errors. CDParanoia just wont rip anymore. So I think maybe the drive went bad. So I get another. This one riped about 15 disks, now it won't anymore. I know the CD's aren't bad, because Grip - what I use to fron CD Paranoia - will play them, and they sound fine. But when I try to rip, I get something like the following in my messages file. Jun 2 08:16:14 double kernel: sr0: CDROM not ready yet. Actually, when the first disk wouldn't rip, I got: Jun 1 13:20:29 double kernel: sr0: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: UNKNOWN(0xbe) 04 00 00 55 28 00 00 01 f8 00 00 Jun 1 13:20:29 double kernel: Info fld=0x5528, Current sr00:00: sense key Medium Error Is there anyone that could help me with this? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
