This still an issue.

I have spent weeks trying to burn a data DVD on Hardy. I have read every post possible. Every thread doesn't seem to come to a solution. I have an LG GSA-4040B DVD burner. I was half way through a spindle of Sony DVD and upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy.

- Did a fresh install of Hardy
- Update the firmware on the DVD drive
- Tried multiple brands of blank media
- Changed my IDE cable to the DVD drive from 40 pin to 80 pin.
- Set the drive to master/slave
- Tried the latest version of dvd+rw tools
- Tried mutliple dvd burning tools. Brasero, Nautilus, K3B, command line... All fail at burning a data DVD.
- Tried multiple kernel options, like "combined_mode=libata atapi_enabled=1" and "all_generic_ide"
- Tried enabling burnproof in nautilus.
- Tried burning at multiple speeds

So, with trying all this, I was left with a new set of multi colored coasters... A set of about 20.

However, I finally came to a solution last night. I reinstalled Gutsy, 7.10. After the install was complete, lone behold, I successfully burned a data DVD.

I have attached the K3B log.

Cheers
