Hi

I burned several ISOs from last year when I started U/Kubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and 9.04 and I never get this I/O error.
But when I burned Ubuntu 9.10 ISO using an old 2003 LG CD-RW drive GCE-8520B at 24X (maximium speed) with a CD-RW Verbatim that had Ubuntu 8.10 and I get that error. In 1st burning appeared that error: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/468956. I thought that was for the CD was a bit scratched but that wasn't the reason (excuse my english)

As I say at the end of my post (nobody answered ! O() I emailed Nero and LG to discard that soft/hardware would be the reason of the problem. As they took their time to answer me I did waht I say in the last post: use the DVD drive instead of CD drive and repeat the burning with the same CD-RW and a new one and:

1st
The burning process was faster

2nd
The access of data from LG-DVD RAM too so integrity check of data and loading the CD Live to test too.

3rd (+important!)
The error/bug dissapeared ! ;)

I look at my CD and DVD specs and appear that have the same buffer (as this is a buffer error) so unless LG and NEro techs say the opposite I think that my CD drive is starting to fail and the DVD drive is newer so perhaps did better the burning so:

What type of drive are u using? CD/DVD or Blueray?
