The difference, though, is that on my system k3b appears to have done the erase, but mkisofs fails. You are left with a disk that cannot be mounted. At one point I got lots of 'bad sector' warnings, and every time I got 'I/O error' reports. Following a lead I got from a LUG member, I found that cdrecord, from a terminal, could not do a blank and record in one command, but if the command is split they work fine. I successfully burned to a disk that had seemed to be unusable, from reading k3b's output. Full details can be found on the user list thread, if they help. Anne
