Insert a rewriteable or blank disc when trying to use CD/DVD Creator, with blank disc in CDR drive

Asked by UbuntuKevin

Hopefully someone has an answer for this one.

I get the previously stated message "Insert a rewritable or blank disc" when I attempt to use CD/DVD Creator to burn files, although any and all CDR's I've put into the drive have all been new and blank.

Thanks,

Kevin

slackwarelife,

Go ahead and do that. It's good to know it isn't an error with my burn of the ISO anyway, and I'm not the only one. If you don't get a chance to do it, I will.

could this be bad hardware detection, or nautilus having trouble with the cd burner?

Help.............

I am also having this problem. Being a Linux newbie this is extremely frustrating (but I'm determined not to return to windows!)

Can you help with this problem?
