Hi, |
| 2 |

Attached to a USB port of my PC (linux-2.6.39.1 vanilla) there is a |
| 4 |
USB to IDE converter, which makes my "old" dvd burner accessible via |
| 5 |
my SATA only PC. |
| 6 |
I thought... |
| 7 |
When I connect everything as described, insert an empty DVD and start |
| 8 |
k3b, an error message is displayed saying that there is no DVD drive |
| 9 |
(or better no drive at all). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Things change, when I insert an already written DVD first, connect |
| 12 |
everything, start k3b and replace the dvd with an emplty one. |
| 13 |
Then this world is one of the best to burn dvds. ;) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I took a look into /dev and found, that there is a /deb/usbdev2.5 when |
| 16 |
the drive is loaded with an empty dvd. This one is replaced by |
| 17 |
/dev/sr0 (including correct links to /dev/dvd and such) when the drive |
| 18 |
gets loaded with a already filled dvd. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Previously (exact point in time unknown ... I am not burning dvds |
| 21 |
often...) this works without any problem. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So I dont think that the hardware is to blame here... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Are there any tricks to fix this hassle? |
| 26 |

Thank you very much for any working device....hrrrmmm...:) |
