hi joao, Thank you for your reply, but I got the same error result when running "cdrwtool -m 295264 -d /dev/hdc" according to your suggestion. Could you give me more hints on that? 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. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Best Regards, kurt Joao Luis Meloni Assirati <assirati@fma.if.usp.br> wrote: On Wed, 17 Mar 2004, ke chen wrote:

[...] 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 -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.
