I have an > ordinary Teac CD-ROM. So, what's wrong? Ordinary sounds rather like ATAPI/IDE, not SCSI. Therefore, readcd does not work. Now, what do you do? If you have a data CD, you can copy it about like this: dd if=/dev/acd0c of=cdimage bs=2048 This will create a file called cdimage in your current directory, assuming that your CD-ROM drive is /dev/acd0. Next you can burn the image back to a CD: burncd -f /dev/acd1c -s 12 data cdimage fixate (assuming that your burnder is /dev/acd1c and the speed you want to (and can) burn with is 12). The method above will obviously have problems with audio CDs and some other special cases, but for ordinary cases, it should work. If you do indeed have a SCSI CD-ROM drive (despite my assumption), the procedure outlined by me will not work (dd will, but I guess burncd won't). In that case, I hope that any of the more SCSI-experienced folkes here will be able to help you.
