Re: [tlug] Writing on a CD

["John Joseph" <johnjoseph.e@example.com>]

Hi friends,

Thanks for your tips. But it hasn't worked in my case.

I tried "cdrecord -scanbus" . Though I have a CDRW drive, the command failed.

So I am thinking whether it is possible to copy the files to the Windows XP
partition of my laptop (Laptop has dual booting Linux-WinXP). Please let me
know how I can do it. That would probably solve the issue for the time being.

Thanks in advance,
John
