Burn cd is the simplest one. cdrecord is the second one. Forgive me for saying this but before we declare something is wrong with hardware lets check if the thing can record from the command line when you are supper user. This way we will check if something is wrong with hardware or with configuration files i.e. permissions , links etc. If you can rip CD from the command line hardware is OK. Scott I.
