About half way through burning a cd the process stopped, k3b froze and I had to skull & crossbones it to kill it. Ever since (and I have been as far as a warm reboot) I cannot get any medium recognised in the cdr/rw drive. I tried mounting a backup cd in the dvd/cdrom drive and it mounts from the desktop icon just fine. Put the same cd in the cdr/rw drive and I get an error saying "cannot mount drive - no medium found"!
This happened to me when cdrdao crashed for some reason. Even warm rebooting didn't help, and after this happened my BIOS didn't pick up either my DVD or CD-RW drives. They were opviously stuck in some sort of no-access-to-anything-else mode. I had to switch off the power and power back on - this fixed it. Hope it helps Hans
