Hello, I have been posting previously on a cdrw device and I have since solved my problems with that device. I've been trying since then with a different cdrw, so these questions are not related to the ones I've posted before. When I try to format a cdrw with the command: cdrwtool -d /dev/scd0 -m 1000 I get the following output: using device /dev/scd0 formatting 3000 blocks 1206KB internal buffer setting write speed to 12x wait_cmd: Invalid argument Command failed: 04 17 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - sense 05.26.00 format disc: Illegal seek I continue to get this error until I raise the offset to >= 4000. Once I've done this it sits trying to format it for an hour or two until I eventually get the same error again. Any ideas? -Leo
