Correction.
I cannot read a CD in this Storix drive. I thought I had recently, but not. I used this drive all the time on this system when it had Centos 4.x installed. Probably the only 4.x system left around here is a Trixbox 2.2.10 install. I will have to test on that tomorrow. But no gnome installed, so it will have to be all command line....
How many CD drives are on that system? If two, can you try to burn a CentOS 5.1 or Ubuntu 7.10 disk, boot of that, then play with at least reading off the USB drive? Maybe test a store-bought CD and try burning a file from the hard drive to the store-bought CD and see what happens?
Some more things to try. Meanwhile...
I put the Storix drive on my corp XP notebook. It read a CD fine and I used ISOmagic to burn an ISO image. Problem with ISO magic is the freeware version can only go up to 320Mb. And Centos isos are bigger than that. Meanwhile I am waiting for Helpdesk software support to get back to me to tell me how to order iso burning software that is corporate approved....
thanks.
Will corporate approve free?
hard to tell.
haven't seen this one.
tried this one, but something they have locked down causes this to fail to write. Which is why the corporate machine is for reading corp email, and interacting with corp web resources....
