to test a burner
- grab a CD R/RW drive
- jumper it so that the drive is a master
- plug the CD R/RW into the machine. Remember both the power and the ribbon cable.
- boot the computer (the computer will automatically login you into a GUI)
- Test the Drive With K3B.
- first simulate
- Second wright some files to the disk, and make sure the program verifies
- Make a Sticker for the drive. the sticker should say its a "CD R/RW" its speed "**X" and "OK"
always have fun in anything you do
- you should also check the md5sums
- a simple way is to:
you@place:~ $ diff <(cat slackware.MD5) <(md5sum /dev/burner)
- , or
you@place:~ $ md5sum -C iso.md5
the last one is only good if the file iso.md5 has information like this:
92cab6a4817dd29786b713b944b3e05c /iso/location.iso /|\ \_____( this is the md5 hash, or magical number. It is not random )
- a note on the md5 hash:
- to generate it type:
md5sum /some/file/any/file/data/file/text/file > file.md5
