Hi James,

I looked for cdrtools and the package doesn't seem to exist.  I installed
udftools, but that didn't change anything.  I went looking around for
manuals and managed to get a CD burned with mkisofs and cdrecord, but I
still would like to know what's wrong with brasero.  It shows the name of
the CD-R/W drive (HP 9300), but says no disc even when there is clearly a
disk inside that even gets mounted properly by the OS.

Thanks,

Jimmy
