[Wylug-help] Burning a cd-rw - problems

[Anne Wilson]

I'm trying to discover whether my problems are with the disks, the drives (2 
of them) or k3b.  These systems are both running FC4, fully updated.  Here's 
what has happened:

I put a used cd-rw into k3b, which happily erased it, then said it couldn't 
write to it.

I put a new cd-rw into k3b, which appeared to burn correctly, but when it came 
to the verify it said that it couldn't read the file system.  The disk can't 
be mounted - similar message.  Lots of I/O errors, bad sector messages appear 
in 'messages'.

I've tried several disks and two drives, also a DVD-RW disk, with the same 
result.

Why would k3b appear to do a whole burn, if it couldn't create the file 
system?

Any clues as to what may be happening would be greatly appreciated.  I've got 
some saved output from k3b, if it helps.
