Comment 2 for bug 220957

same here. cd burning software:

nautilius-cd-burner/k3b gives insert a blank or rewriteable disk/no media present
cd_info reports no_disc.

booting 2.6.22-14-generic with current hardy userspace gives the same results.

I don't have windows on this machine but the CD that was not detected correctly I transferred to another machine and the cd can be written to successfully. I had no problem burning cds with gutsy using k3b.

on running cdinfo, dmesg says

Apr 29 00:17:25 alfred kernel: [ 530.131564] sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.

(and
mark@alfred:~$ ls -l /dev/sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-04-28 23:55 /dev/sr0 -> scd0
