OK - I've got the .iso.  How do I point it at the second drive (hdd)?  
cdrecord -vvvvvvvv -blank=disc /tmp/foo.iso points it at hdc, which is 
DVD-ROM.

In the past I've burned both + and - disks without problems.  I don't know 
whether there is any real likelihood that the drive is developing a fault.  
Let's see whether I can get a burn on any of the CD-RW disks first,.  I may 
have an odd CD+RW one somewhere.
