Hello, I thought it is clear but it seems it's not so. I have EIDE version of CD-RW. I found one solution but I don't like it. Easy CD Creator 3.5 for Windows when sees my CD on which fixate command failed suggests to close session and does it successfully. After this I can use this CD anywhere. So, it seems the problem is not with hardware but with incorrect use of this hardware. Any clues?
