A quick search and I decided to get a SATA device from Samsung that has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightscribe.com\/\">LightScribe<\/a>. I have a SATA controller on my motherboard, and I don&#8217;t like the idea of buying old technology, so I wanted a SATA interface.<\/p>\n<p>I did a quick check to make sure that there was a good chance such a device would work with my Ubuntu desktop system. No major issues were highlighted, so on Tuesday I went bought the drive. I guessed that it would be only a few minutes to install, and then I would be up and running.<\/p>\n<p>How wrong was I? To cut a long story short, I found that I have two different SATA controllers on my motherboard. One is incorporated in the southbridge, and one extra one. If I plugged the DVD into the extra one, then the machine would not even complete the POST. If I plugged it into the one on the southbridge, it would boot, but very slowly, and the DVD would not work, and the lots of error messages would fill dmesg.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that I have an early motherboard with SATA, and that it is not very good. Eventually I gave up trying to get it to work, and just bought a new SATA controller card. Now the machine boots without errors. Next thing is to  learn how to create DVD&#8217;s and see if I can get LightScribe to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to buy myself a DVD Writer.
