1. When was the last time you burnt any kind of data with that drive?
2. As you're a Windows user too, did it work ok in Windows?
3. Does it read discs ok? CD's & DVD's?
4. Does it only happen with burning ISO's? What about burning music, videos, plain data discs?
5. Are you using Debian Stable or Testing? Does it happen with both?
6. What make/model of drive is it? And how old is the drive?
7. Can you provide the relevant parts of dmesg where it mentions /dev/sr0, particularly at startup?

8. What kind of media are you using in the failed burn(s)?
If you want help, please answer these questions. Thank you.

Hi -

Sorry I didn't respond earlier; I didn't do much this weekend. I just tried both a CD and a DVD under Windows (ImgBurn and native Windows write)...nothing works on writing. At this point, I suspect either a bad drive or maybe I screwed up the physical installation somehow. If anyone has any other questions of interest about this, I'll furnish what I can. But it's clearly not a Debian problem, so we can consider this thread closed.
