Hi,
I'm experiencing this problem from quite a long time. But
I don't know why.
I have a LG DVD Writer. It supports writing and reading DVD-R DVD+R
DVD-RW DVD+RW, all CDs and some other DVD flavors I don't remember.
I tried a Fedora boot DVD at boot, it worked. But inside arch (it
was the same problem with fedora), it won't work.
I don't think this needs any special driver because previously I'd
never configured a special driver for that.
CD's work fine though.
it's sata or ide? when i started using linux i had to change the 40
"strings" ide cable to one of 80, due to troubles while
reading/writing
dvds...
hope this helps :)
Its connected by IDE now. I have a SATA converter with me
though. Should
I use that for my drive ?
Nope. If it is a ide device, just check that your ide cable is of the type
with 80 conductors.
Take a look at the images here, to see the difference between a 40 and a 80
conductor cable (both have 40 pin).
My NEC DVDRW refused to work without such a cable.

My drive has in total only 40 pins. How an 80 pin connector would fit
into it ?
