I just started on this CD burning thing, so I'm feeling very shaky ... Anyway, I have an older internal CD reader and a HP external burner (both SCSI devices if that matters) and I've been doing some experimenting. All the data disks I've burnt so far work very well except for one CD-RW disk. To be more specific, the first time I bunt a FBSD install image on a rewritable disk, my internal NEC reader handled it ok. Just for fun I tried blanking the disk and rewriting the image. After I did this, the NEC reader refused to have anything to do with the disk! The burner is able to read it allright, though. So, are there issues with older CD-ROM readers and rewritable disks that I should be aware of? Or is this a case of simply doing the right incantations when blanking/burning the disk? I use mkisofs and cdrecord to burn the disk. I tried to do the blanking with either blank=all or blank=fast switch on without success.
