[OS:N:] CD Burner glitch.

[Access Systems]

ok strange problem.
Red Hat 9
Yamaha CD Burner.CDRW
Memorex CDRW brand new disks

I used X-CD-Roast to burn a few jpg for a friend and burner seemed to work
fine.
after finish I try to read the disk,   "No medium found"

so I try again...burn another disk,    "No Medium found"

hmmmm,  switch to Gnome toaster,   burn another disk,  "no Medium found"

stuff one of the disks into my laptop, runs perfectly,  put in all the
others and they all run perfect????

so start checking and any CD burned on this drive will no longer open.
(they did in the past) But any CD burned on any other software or machine
works fine!

well went to a LUG meeting and took one of the disks.

on some folks machines they opened and on some others they wouldn't
on one machine it opened burner software as though it was a new disk.

now I suspect a hardware problem but this really has me baffled,
especially why it will open disks burned on some guys windows machine but
won't read a disk that was just burned on that drive???

anyone got any thoughts before I go buy a new burner.???

thanks
Bob
