[...] This also happens to me. I have an LG GCC-4480B (CDRW + DVD reader combo). I don't know why things are in this state, but I first use cdrwtool -d /dev/hdc -q , wait the failure and read the disk capacity (in your case, 295264) and use cdrwtool -m <capacity> -d /dev/hdc This will perform a low level format. After it finishes, I use pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/hdc mkudffs /dev/pktcdvd0 (you should have some script to do the pktsetup at boot time). After that, you will be able to mount /dev/pktcdvd0 read-write. Regards, Joao Luis.
