I just bought a LG burner from PC Village up here in Toronto.
$35
Works perfectly in my new PC running Kubuntu 7.10
I also bought Nerolinux 3.. this software is amazing.

The failure rate of burning CDs on my computer has always been
about 50%.
I always assumed I just bought a bad batch of CDs.
I am moving to Alberta Saturday so am now backing up a lot of data.
For my last 10 CDs the failure rate was 100%.
I then bought some maxell premium CDs.
The first 3 of them also failed.
I am now assuming the problem is with the CD burner
and that it needs replacing. I figure I might as well buy
a burner that can burn CDs and DVDs.
Can any one recommend a good DVD burner to buy?
Where to buy it might also help. Must be able to buy it today or
tomorrow.
I am running ubuntu 6.10 (and will upgrade once my stuff is backed
up).
Is it possible my CD burner just needs cleaning?
Is is possible that updates of ubuntu 6.10 have added a bug causing
this? I
think this unlikely.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
