I want to write an existing ISO file to a CD using C. I am using an array of 256 bytes to read characters from the ISO file and trying to write it to the block file /dev/sr0. But I am getting the error message "No disk space present", even though I have checked that the CD is a blank one. Can anybody suggest why this is not working?

I would be grateful if somebody could offer some advice on this matter.

AFAIK, you need to use a special IO interface or library for burning a CD. Look up existing applications for burning CDs, there are various tools out there. I'm sure I've come across a library for that kind of thing in the past.

Yes, plus a little research in CD colour book formats, CD/DVD layouts, and the ISO 9660 standard. There is a bit more to an ISO image than raw data, and IIRC there are restrictions on what you can write where on a CD/DVD, and your image has to be written to a writable area if you do not want to increase your coaster collection. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
