my CD-RW is a LG GCC-4320B.
My problem is it reads CD-Rs that were burned in unix or linux OSes perfectly fine, but if a CD was burned with Windows using say Adaptec or whatever, and the CD is set so that it is readable to all computers, then i get this problem:
My CD-RW "sometimes" reads the file structure, (i.e. "ls" might work, but then if i try to copy any files over to my hard drive, the CD drive speeds up as though it's reading the CD, and then suddenly cuts down and stops. i get an I/O error. If i repeat this it cuts out at different stages, sometimes i might indeed get the entire file, but even then it is likely to be corrupt.
this only happens for CD-Rs burned in Windows. I was thinking i might need a cd driver for making it totally linux compatible or something???
thanks in advance,
Alan.
