For this part, did you *erase* the disc before attempting to rewrite? This is necessary, and there's a checkbox somewhere in K3B to have it do so automatically. The rest of the report (no verify after write, and system lockups) looks much more serious. I cannot help with those, but others here probably can. It's just a matter of somebody else following your recipe to repeat it, and then instrumenting libata/scsi to see where the faults lie. Cheers
