Hello!

I have two hp pavilion laptops, both are the same machines purchased
the same day.  I had opensuse 10.2 on both and then switched to fedora
7.  Now the machine that my wife uses will not burn a dvd, it will
burn cd and cdrw discs but not a dvd.  I figured that the drive went
bad and I called hp tech support, they told me it was a configuration
issue not hardware since it will burn cd and not dvd.

I did an ls -al of /dev/scd0 on my machine (the one that still burns
dvds) and this was the result:

brw-rw----+ 1 eagle1 disk 11, 0 2007-06-24 17:50 /dev/scd0

I then did the same on my wifes computer (the one that will not burn a
dvd) and this was the result:

brw-------+ 1 panda1 disk 11, 0 2007-06-24 20:56 /dev/scd0

I only see one small difference in the two listings, could this be the
problem of why it will not burn a dvd disc? Or, should I be more
insistent on have the hardware replaced?

It does seem strange that it worked fine until I switched to fedora 7
from opensuse 10.2.

Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John, it appears that you have DVD drives from 2 different companies. Odd that this is the case since you bought both computers at the same time. My experience has been that DVD drives fail exactly like yours did. I had to throw away one last month because it was getting worse. So I think it is possible that the drive is bad,

To get a replacement free you need to swap the drives and see that it fails too in your computer, or not. You learn a lot.
