Hi Himanshu,

You didn't mention which DVD burner frontend were you using on
Mandriva LE 2005. I am pretty sure it must be K3B. The problem sounds
DVD hardware specific. I have used the same version of Mandriva on my
laptop but never had an issue.

Moreover, Mandriva LE 2005 had several issues with other things as
well. It was the first Mandriva, that is the one which changed from
Mandrake. Mandriva 2006 was good but also had some serious issues with
diferent things. Now Mandriva 2007 is out. I am using it for quite
some time now and find it pretty tweaked. I would recommend that you
go for an upgrade to Mandriva 2007. It came out free on DVD media with
LFY magazine couple of months back. I can copy it and sent it your way
if you want. Try this newer version and I am hopeful your DVD problem
might get rectified as well.

Cheers
-Tarun
