[CentOS] Created a DVD from Gnome Desktop -CentOS-5.3
I am trying to put the dvd iso image of CentOS-5.4 onto a DVD. I have an LG multi-writer installed. I have used this device on this host to created CDs in the past but this is my first attempt at creating a dvd. When I put a blank DVD-R media in the drive then I see a desktop icon for "CD-ROM Disc" created. When I open the bittorent folder and click on the iso image "CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso" then I am prompted to open the image with "CD/DVD Creator". When I do this then I get a new window opened with the image file in the lower portion and an entry at the top labelled: CD/DVS Creator Folder and a button labled "Write to Disc" When I click on write to disc I am prompted to either create from image or create from file. I select image and am propted for the speed. I select maximum possible (the default) and press the write button. I get this error: Insert a rewritable or blank disc Please put a disc, with at least 4.3 GiB free, into the drive. The following disc types are supported: DVD+R DL, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW I get the same thing if I use a DVD-RAM. What is going on? I have used the same model dvd writer on a MSWindows stations and have created readible dvds therefrom. Any ideas on how to proceed? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

I haven't tried it with the C5.4 iso yet but it usually works great for me.

When I open the bittorent folderThis means that the DVD-R you inserted has something on it already. A truely blank DVD-R won't give you an icon since there is no file system that can be mounted.> and click on the iso image "CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso" then I am > prompted to open the image with "CD/DVD Creator".
