[Cobalt_users] Burning RaQ4-20022007.iso from Zeffie to 80 minCD-R? File too big?
Hi,
I've purchased and now downloaded Zeffie's updated Raq4 restore CD image
and I've encountered a problem getting it burnt to a CD-R
I'm only finding 700 MB (80 min) CD-R's available and the filesize of the
Zeffie restore CD ISO file is bigger than the reported capacity of my
current bundle of CD-R's. I only have a normal CD-R drive available at the
moment (connected to my Sunblade 1000 workstation) so I'm trying to use
that.
I keep getting this error out of the Solaris 9 'cdrw' utility using my 8x
write-speed Teac CD-R drive:
1614 craig@lios #----> cdrw -i RaQ4-20022007.iso
Looking for CD devices... Initializing device...done.
Size required (703696896 bytes) is greater than available space (681986048
bytes).
Are there any larger-capacity CD-R's around or is the only way to get this
burnt to a disk to use a DVD-R instead?
Craig.

Yes, I've got some TDK 800 MB CD-R's. I dont think they are too hard to
find - I think I got mine from Amazon.
I have fitted a DVD writer in my Blade 2000. Bought an IDE DVD writer,
and SCSI-> converter
Optiarc Sony-NEC EIDE Bare (Black) AD-7203A-0B 20x12x DVD, 48x CD, 12x
DVD-RAM, LabelFlash Black
Acard Internal Adapter AEC-7720U IDE device to SCSI-Narrow system
They work very well together and the Sun boots fine from the DVD drive.

Ah ok I didn't know there were 90 min CDR's available - but I've located
some locally so will grab a bundle and go forth with the Raq4 OS restoration
using Zeffie's upgraded restore CD image.
