Good CD Burning Software for Ubuntu Linux?

Support Other Software
1

EDIT: See post #11 (by me) below.

I do have a CD/RW drive but no software! (So it seems:cool:)

I had CDBurner XP Pro burning utility which was recommended by Kim Komando.

However, I’m having some stability issues; as I can’t access System Restore for some reason to make a restore point, and I can’t reinstall CDBurner XP Pro.

So either;

  1. I have to find another burning program

  2. Go back to an earlier restore point; wait, I can’t do that 'cause I can’t access restore!:eek::cool:

Any ideas?

Thanks

i got roxio for free, and it creates a DVD and menu just fine.I thought XP had CD burning built in…you just pop in a blank and it asks if you want to make a data or music, you drag and drop, and then burn it.

I upgraded from ME to XP Pro…should it still have it?:confused:

I currently use AVS Disc Creator. It’s freeware, and compact.

gotta try that one too…

But I’m really happy with this freeware one too :

–edit : Sorry, you already tried. Didnt read well. I have no issues with it though.

you cant reinstall it?

maybe you need to look into the registry, or some tsr proccess/service there…But only if you know how to do it safely. I dont know, I havent found that problem.

Thanks for the replies guys, but I fixed the problem :slight_smile:

I downloaded the Windows Install cleaner utitlity and was able to remove the installation data, which was what was preventing me from installing it.

Then I reinstalled CDBurnerXP Pro. :slight_smile:

Thanks!

What is a good free one for burning iso’s?

11

that one cdburnerxp.se actually burns isos, and makes bootables even.

OK, well, thanks for all the replies guys. :slight_smile:

CD burning is working fine now on XP.

Now problem is getting it to work under Ubuntu.

I’ve tried K3b, which worked once, then crapped out on me, go figure…

Then I Xfburn, which APPEARED to work but didn’t!!

Go double figure that one…

How do I know it didn’t work?

Because:

  1. I tried rebooting to see if it would start up in Live CD mode

  2. I went to My Computer and checked the CD drive to see how much space was on the disc and it said it was empty.

Anyone else have burning problems?
