Fedora 15 an 17

Trying to burn Fedora image on CD-R , the disk is new.

When opening the k3b Create window it shows blank media in cd/dvd
burner, but in the burn window it is telling you place blank cd in drve
, even if you open and close drive it sill does not show a blank Cd and
you can't burn.


I have burn cd/dvd's in this drive.

If you're trying to burn an .iso image you need the 'Tools' menu.

That is where I started Tools > Burn Image but that does not help, It
won't let me me Start, It is still shaded .

Does it fail if your root when trying to burn or just as a regular user?

Try a different model of blank CD (cheap ones can fail to be detected
properly).

Try a different burning app such as Brasero.

Can you read existing CDs using the same drive?

Obvious questions; sorry. I just tried inserting a blank CD-R disk when
I had a DVD-sized .iso and the results were similar to what you
describe. How big is the image? Is it known to be good?


Perhaps being paranoid, I use the burn-and-verify option, and when I
create the .iso files I use implantisomd5 as well; but if you still
can't see the disk that won't help :-(

The Image is a Fedora-18 Alpha cd 768mb.

The CD I trying to burn are the samme CD I have been burning Images
in the past,** TDK CD's.



I JUST discovered it was my fault. tried Brasero and it
told me that I had to use a larger cap. disk,



but when you burn a Image in K3B it does not tell you this. all
Fedora Images I have burn in the past was under 700mb the Fedora
18 image is 769mb.





Thanks guys for your help. **********
