ISO woes

anomit | April 26, 2007

I busted a CD-RW disc while burning an Ubuntu image on to it. Instead of selecting the option to burn an image to the disc, I simply added the .iso file. After that, the disc simply can’t be read as if there was no disc in the drive. So I am stuck with a RW disc which can’t be erased!!

Goddamn, this thing beats me. Irrespective of what I had burnt to the disc in the previous session, I should be able to erase it. I am running out of options here. Tried everything. Nero, Alcohol, and even our very own cdrecord. I would be trying to figure this out for the next week.

Exams (9th-11th) are once again knocking on the door and I guess its not too late to realize that and start my preparation. For the time being it looks like I have to put my aircrack adventures on the backburner.
