<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Hi everybody, I am a
Linux user from 2 months, but I am really really desperate!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>In fact I have a problem
with my cd-dvd drive. The problem is that if I write a cd iso with the drive, I
am not able to use that cd with Linux! I tried to burn it with Windows and
Nero, and then with Linux, but both the cds I got don't work with Linux and are
perfect with Windows!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I discovered this while I
first tried to install RedHat Linux with the cdroms I created with the images
downloaded from RedHat Network. Even during the installation only the first cd
didn't give me problems, but everytime I needed to change it in order to go on
with installation, the cdreader did always the same: while it tries to read the
cd I hear sounds like "woooooom", as it reads the cd at the maximum
speed, and then I hear a big "toc", as it stops reading, and then a
message "no media in the drive" appears.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I had the same problem
while I tried to install the Mandriva LE distro with the 3 cds I burned in
Windows. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>But the strange thing is
that all the cds are perfectly readable with Windows XP! So I cannot think that
the drive is damaged, but there must be something to configure in Linux, even
during the installation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>But what is it?! I tried
to disable DMA but nothing changes.... so now I really do not know what to do. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I have to say that I can
use anyother cd/dvd, that I haven't burnt by myself, with Linux.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>My PC is a Dell laptop
Inspiron 8600c, with a NEC Cd, DVD+RW.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB

somebody can finally help me.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
