Today I tried burning one of those ISO files. No good with Nero. I was quite surprised, assumed it was a format it could not recognize. So I downloaded another burner, with the cute name of “Alcohol 120%”. No use. Then I surrendered to the stupid CloneCD of the four buttons. No use again. Before selling my soul to the horrendous CDRWin, I decided to look for info on the errors I was getting.

Interestingly, it is a very common error, judging by the number of mentions to it I found on Google’s newsgroup archive. But no one was able to solve it! At least not in English, and I refuse to try my luck with a post where the subject is a single word of twenty letters. All attempts at solving it inevitably point out that the user has a problematic SCSI setup. Even when they do not have a SCSI drive. I do not. I know I just caused a lot of anger in my technophile friends, but I did not buy it myself, and SCSI was stupidly more expensive (with the exchange rate at the time, it meant a lot).

So now I am unable to burn anything at all and no idea why.

Just to make sure, I tried to copy a CD directly. I got a read error from my CD-ROM.

What is going on?
