Thanks Glenn.

(I looked in my car and it's CDR was unreadable to decided to write a replacement for it)

I booted up 18.04 on my hp dx6120mt (mini-tower, pentium 4 dual core, 3gb, winfast clone of nvidia 7600gt) -- the specs are irrelevant but its an old box used in QA-testing x86 (it won't run x86_64) and will mean something to me.. I dist-upgraded then rebooted..

Yes XFBurn & blank disc was different in this box to the d755 (x86_64 on my prior comment), and the ejecting disc & closing door was just annoying (more icons of 'Blank CD-R Disc' & pop-ups each time I didn't get on x86_64).

I gave up trying to write using XFBurn, even tried writing in Brasero - which got further but failed too. In this case it could be this hardware (I've never written a cd/dvd with it; the box was salvaged from a recycle pile for QA-testing purposes which hasn't involved writer before..) In my case I can't rule out my hardware, but didn't see any obvious issues other than yes x86 does perform differently to x86_64.

(I'll write more when I have more.)
