1.Sony DVD-RW/CD-RW drive problems

I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with a Sony DVD/CD -RW drive.  This
drive works fine reading CD/DVD disks.  It however never recognizes a
blank CD-R (I would like to burn a CD of pictures).  When I insert a
blank CD-R, the drive scans it for several second then simply gives up
with no error (xcdroast claims there's no CD in the drive).  There are
also no entries in any syslogs.  Any suggestions?  I'd really like to
backup some data.

3.CD-RW or DVD(+-)RW?

My CD-RW drive (HP 9201) died yesterday.  <SFX: aww>  So, I guess I need to
get a new one.  I will almost certainly get a SCSI one, as I have six open
SCSI IDs and two open IDE IDs; also, since one has to emulate SCSI for
writing ANYHOW, it makes since to me to skip the emulation step.  (The dead
drive was SCSI.)  Can you recommend one to get (I use Linux on this machine
exclusively, except W2K in VMware), or disrecommend one _not_ to get?  How
about DVD writers?  Is the technology settled down yet?  How about the "-R"
vs "+R" thing?  I will probably buy mail-order; I hate dealing with rebates.

4.DVD/cd-rw fails to play DVD movies

Installed mplayer, ogle and Xine still I cannot play movies.

I can burn cd's using Xcdroast.  

This is a Dell Latitude C600 750MHZ 128MB.

Cdrom = /dev/hdc = ide-scsi = /dev/dvd = /dev/cdrom 

The hdc = ide-scsi was necessary to burn CD's and perhaps is the root of my problem?

Any ideas how to configure to play movies?

5.Addonics DVD/CD-RW vs. Solaris 9 cdrw

Hello,

I am running Solaris 9 on a Sun Blade 100.  I have connected a new 
Addonics AEPDVRW248UM via the supplied USB cable.

I am able to read CDs fine but when I attempt to write to a CD-R I 
invariably get this failure: "Writing track 1...failed.".

$ mkisofs -r /home/des 2>/dev/null | cdrw -i
Looking for CD devices...
Initializing device...done.
Writing track 1...failed.
done.
Finalizing (Can take several minutes)...done.

// Or, using a file created earlier with mkisofs and running
// in simulated mode:

$ cdrw -S -v -i bkup.iso
Looking for CD devices...
Initializing device(Simulation mode)...done.
Writing track 1...failed.
done.
Finalizing (Can take several minutes)...done.

Again, I can read disks but I can not write disks.  As a further test, I 
moved the Addonics drive to a laptop running Win2K.  On that system I 
can read *and* write CDs with no problem whatsoever. But, I got this 
drive specifically for my Sun Blade...

Has anyone managed to get an Addonics drive to write disks?
