CD/ DVD Writing

-->I started by trying it out on my Fedora 10, but moved on to ubuntu 9.04 after it showed the message "SCSI driver not found" and "cdrecord --scanbus " would not detect the CDROM RW device.
-->Then i kept searching for module "ide_cd" in the output of "lsmod". and "insmod ide_cd" said no file named ide_cd exists.But none of these is required.

--> In ubuntu cdrecord --scanbus showed my device as 3,0,0 and when i inserted a CD or DVD the output of cdrecord disappeared.

The guiding light came from these 2 resources:-


1. /usr/share/doc/README.wodim.ATAPI.setup (in ubuntu)



As mentioned in link 2, i detected /dev/dvrw2 and /dev/cdrw2 both linked to sr0.

Now issued the command

cdrecord speed =2 dev=/dev/cdrw2 path_to_iso

the command failed showing device or resource busy.

I issued "umount /dev/cdrw2"

then again "cdrecord speed =2 dev=/dev/cdrw2 path_to_iso" worked.

--> Now tried "cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrw -eject path_to_iso" in fedora and it worked pretty well to create a imation DVD.
So basically "cdrecord --scanbus" is not required.

Installing Fedora 10 on External Western digital USB drive for X86_64 AMD processor.

I am putting forward the steps to install F10 on AMD Athlon -X2 Presario CQ60 laptop and my experiences while installing it, so that anyone who reads it can benefit maybe in a small way. 1. Download Fedora iso for architechture suitable to your PC (see fedora installation notes) and create a DVD. Verify the dvd as given in http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify . You have to download a tool for checksum generation (sha1) for the dvd and compare it with the checksum listed on the fedora website for verification. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/readme-burning-isos/en_US/sn-validating-files.html 2. The WD drive should be unformatted. So i had to do that from windows vista->computer(right click)->Manage->Disk Management->WD drive (right click)->Delete partition. Otherwise i got an error that amount of space selected was not available when trying to partition the WD drive during installation. 3. Insert the WD drive and boot into the DVD. Select the default option of install. Do a c...
