Bernard Decock (decockbernard) wrote : Re: Blanc CD-R disc (700 Mb) has no free space

I installed qpxtool. qpxtool can determine the properties of the blank disc! (See picture attached). A free size of 702 MB
(359848 sectors). For reference I attached also the properties of my drive.

I tested also GNU libcdio. This package can't read the blank disc! (Is be maybe obvious as it properly uses the installed
dvd-rw-tools?). Please find the results underneath :
