CD-RW disks

[Collins]

I've been using the CD writer drive that came with my HP pc for a
couple of years to write CD-R disks with no problems.  It's a TEAC unit
according to scanbus, i.e.

        0,0,0     0) 'TEAC   ' 'CD-W54E ' '1.1C' Removable CD-ROM

Now I'm trying to use the few CD-RW disks (TDK 4x to 10x capable) which
came with the computer, and I'm getting errors.  'cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0
speed=4 isofs' (made with mkisofs) produces:


cdrecord: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error
CDB:  00 00 00 00 00 00
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A 00 00 00
Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0
Sense Code: 0x3A Qual 0x00 (medium not present) Fru 0x0
Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) 
cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 40s
cdrecord: No disk / Wrong disk!

No joy with ... blank .... or ... blank --force ... either.

Same results with 3 never-used CD_RW blanks (never used)

Does anyone have a clue?
