hi Joao, Thank you for your reply. But it doesn't work when i use cdrwtool -m 295232 -d /dev/hdc, or with other smaller number. i tried to copy some documents into the cd-rw disc with another cd-writer in a windows machine. and then came back to use cdrwtool to blank it in linux. This time, it seems a little better, it print out "initiating quick disc blank", but after a while, still pop up the almost same error message except that one "cdrom: this disc doesn't have any tracks I recognized" I am really lost on it and hope some person can help me. Thank you very much. Best Regards, kurt Joao Luis Meloni Assirati <assirati@fma.if.usp.br> wrote: Kurt, On Wed, 17 Mar 2004, ke chen wrote:

Try to reduce the disk capacity, say cdrwtool -m 295232 -d /dev/hdc or less. Maybe it works for some smaller number. I don't know well the underlying principles, but remember seeing this advice somewhere...
I also tried to fake my atapi device as scsi device. but when running "cdrwtoo -d /dev/scd0 -q", this time it prints out sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports, ILLEGAL REQUEST.
That should not be needed, even for burning cds in the ordinary way. You may know that cdrecord now has support for atapi.
