Running a SCSI emulated cdr/rw and a dvd drive under SuSE8.2, I have been happily burning cd's using k3b since installation. Then yesterday, the strangest thing. 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"! Any ideas as to what the hell has happened would be appreciated. I am down to assuming some sort of hardware failure, yet the drive still operates, ie it opens and closes etc. I have never had this problem before and would appreciate advice?! Paul.
