Similarly, asunder thinks there's nothing from which it can > rip a CD. They are treated as SCSI, it's been that way for many years, so that's not a reason for anything to not like the drive. The chances are that it doesn't like the disc, try another. Or, there's insufficient power to drive it. How's it powered, from a USB port? Was it a drive that came with a Y-lead that plugs into two USB ports simultaneously? Does it have its own power supply? Are you using the right one? Or, the lens may need cleaning. Or, the mechanisms may be having trouble moving (the laser mechanism, and/or the disc spindle motor). I've had a couple of DVD burners simply die over the years. That happens. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
