Is this with a disk written using rcd0d ?

Is the drive

	a PATA drive connected directly to a
	PATA controller?

	a PATA drive connected via a PATA-to-USB
	adapter?

	something else? (SATA, SCSI, ...)

Have you tried writing a disk using

	growisofs -Z /dev/rcd0d=test.iso

Then check with

	dd if=/dev/rcd0d of=/var/tmp/some_filename bs=2k count=48
	cmp test.iso /var/tmp/some_filename
	rm /var/tmp/some_filename

Are you using media that is recommended for your
make & model of drive?
