Ando, If you are using GUI (KDE in my case) then do as following, Log in as root =>start YAST=>click on option Harware, then first correct your "hdc" device settings in option "IDE dma MODE". This shuld be enough. Take good care with following. In same option "Hardware" there is icon "Disk controler" it is probibly set as "piix" because it is system default, change this optino to "ata-piix" ONLY if you are shore that ATA card is installed on you system. DO NOT experiment with this optin it can crash system completly. Kind regards, Zoran On Friday 10 August 2007 10:25, auxweb@inwind.it Schreef:

Wrong medium type
This means the drive does not support (or recognise) the media. See below for growisofs error codes... http://pcburn.com/article.php?sid=2127
After reading that page more carefully I realized that it basically says "if your DVD burner is connected to a UDMA/33 cable and the system tries to use it as a UDMA/100 device, you'll experience errors".
So: 1) can it be something similar in my case? Considering that that drive (IIRC) burned CD-roms just fine? And the fact that the error code i get is not exactly the same?
2) How do I check it for sure, that is how do I recognize if there is a UDMA/33 cable while the system believes to have a UDMA/100 device? And how do I fix it if this is what happening? In the bios? How? Or in some config file? (changing the cable, ie turning off the pc, I'd rather avoid it if at all possible, since as I mentioned the system is quite unstable and it would really be better to burn the dvds before powering it off)
