Get some canned air and blow the dirt off of the sensor in the
drive.
No change.
The drive is the coffee mug tray style. so even opening the
plastic housing for the drive does not let me 'see' the sensor,
but I used a lot of canned air and no change in behaviour....
Perhaps I have to go out to the drug store and buy one of those
drive lens cleaner disks?
Have you tried removing/reseating the data cable on both ends?
USB. I thought I mentioned that....
I've seen this work a handful of times. Also, SCSI or other? If
SCSI, is it properly terminated, and with the correct ID? I once
replaced a SCSI hard drive, and due to some technical change that
completely baffled me, using the same cable, and ensuring IDs were
all correct (unchanged), could not get the system to properly
boot? In the end, a colleague with similar knowledge ended up
relocating the SCSI terminator on the cable itself. No reason why
it needed to be relocated, but that solved the problem.
Yeah if those SCSI terminators get a little dirty ;)
Try cabling and see what happens...
Using 2.0 cables. Of course the server is an old Compaq SFF that
only supports USB 1.1
What do the logs say about any possible USB errors? How about tail
-f path_to_log_file and unplugged/replugging to see what the active
messages are?

k3b uses cdrecord among other utilities - it is simply a graphical
front-end.
Have you tried the command-line tools instead?
I have a simple script that collects files, creates an ISO, then burns
the ISO to disk. No GUI (k3b) involved.
I already have LOTS of isos to try and burn. From little 40Mb
D~mnSmallLinux to any of the 6 Centos isos...
mkisofs -o /home/scott/files.iso -R -J -T files/
cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom -multi /home/scott/files.iso
eject
After I figure out the right device (should be in those /varlog/messages
above!), I will try this.
What happens if you try the above? Will it be k3b? The commands it
uses? The hardware?
Stay tune.
What happens if you simply insert a writable CD, open it in the window
manager, drag a file to the disk, and try to burn that file to disk?
That is what started this. Whether an iso or a file I am told that I
need a disk large enough for the files. Not what I put in.
Create your own ISO from the above then try to have the window manager
burn it directly to disk.
Doesn't work.
Let us know.
Read the start of this thread.
