[Dvdrtools-users] HP 200j

[Schuler Robert W CRBE]

Please help. I have installed an HP 200j DVD Burner under Red Hat 
Linux GYRO 2.4.18-3 #1 Thu Apr 18 07:37:53 EDT 2002 i686 unknown

I cannot seem to burn a DVD.

I can burn and erase CD-RW disks.

I installed Red Hat 7.3 in hopes of getting new drivers, but still I cannot 
burn a DVD.

The DVD burner is an IDE device and works OK under Windoze.

When I run dvdrecord -scanbus, I get:
address@hidden rschuler]# dvdrecord -scanbus

So next I try to burn a small ISOFS.raw file to the DVD:

I have also found the diagnostic from XCDRoast to be interresting.
