Ando,

If you are using GUI (KDE in my case)

I am not sure I can restart X, anyway I guess I can run the same yast options at the command line yast, so:

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.

You mean I can try again to burn DVDs after changing this only option? Or is also the second part mandatory? Also:

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 sure that ATA card is installed on you system.

I am not sure I understand this part. The motherboard is a "ASUS A8N-VM CSM" with everything integrated, disk controller included, and it has been running a sata hard disk and this ata DVD drive (nec nd 4550) for months before having problems). It means it has the equivalent of a "ata card" installed, or not? Thanks a lot to you all, guys.
