It seems like it thinks the CD is actually full; my HP drive (an
older 4020 2x) thinks certain media is full when it's fresh (only
Imation so far). TDKs seem to work well; I've had a couple
glitches with Verbatim 8x, and Imation 4x doesn't work at all.
AFAIK, you can't mount blank media (can you?) and if you're adding
stuff to a partially full disk, you probably can't write to it if
it's already mounted. Of course, I haven't used cdrecord yet 8-)
(I still haven't weaned myself entirely from windoze)
Anybody else?
