I have been using a cd writer for the last 6 months. Two days ago I decided to try k3b (I have been using xcdroast). I burned one cd-rw and did not like the results so I blanked it - this is with k3b. I have not been able to load a cd since even with xcdroast even after reboot. All the modules appear to be installed and xcdroast recognizes the drive but will not load a cd. I even took the drive out and had it tested at the store where I bought it. They said it worked. What do I need to do next to figure out how to get the drive to work again?? I am using Mandrake 9.2 with KDE. Any help will be greatly appreciated, David ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
