The HP CD-RW on klingon is capable of burning standard ISO9660 CD's onto both CD-R (one-time) and
CD-RW (re-writeable) media. This is most easily accomplished via the "xcdroast" application which is
available on klingon. However, in order to re-write a CD-RW that has data on it, the CD-RW must first
be erased. Unfortunately, this can only be done by the sysadmin at this time. If you have CD-RWs that need
to be erased please see the system administrator.

The CD-R and CD-RW formats hold up to 650 Mbytes of data which makes them an attractive option for
backups of small to moderate amounts of data. If your data is written as an ISO9660 filesystem it should be
readable on just about any modern CD drive.

There are four steps to mastering a CD-R or CD-RW disk:

Start and configure xcdroast
Create an ISO9660 Image file
Burn the image file onto a CD-R or CD-R
Delete the image file

All of these steps can be accomplished from xcdroast. The following example session should show you how to master
a data CD.

First, startup xcdroast on klingon (you can be logged in from another system
via ssh but xcdroast must be running on klingon) . You will see the following GUI pop up:

Ignore the warning and click on the "Continue anyway" button (this is a bug that will
hopefully be fixed soon).

You should then see the main xcdroast screen:

Next, click the "Setup" button on the main window. You should then see a new window that looks like:

Simply click on the "Done" button without making any changes, and you will be return to the main window:

Now click on the "Master CD" button and you will see the following window:

In the file browser select the directory you wish to burn onto a CD by clicking on the folder. You will see
the direcotry name appear in the field labeled "Directory with data to master:".

Next, click on the "Set ISO-Header" button and you will see:

You may type any information that you would like to be included in the CD header strings into the ID fields.
When you are done click on the "Master Image" button to get the next screen:

By default, the image file will be written into the file "image1.raw" in the directory /scratch_c1/cdrw. You
can change the image file name to another name but you cannot change the directory that it will be written
into. When you are ready to start writing the image file click on the "Start Master Image" button. A second
window should pop up as the image file is being created:

As the image file is being written this window will update to indicate the current status of the process until
it looks as it does above and says "Image successfully mastered." At this point you should click on the
"OK" button and this window will disappear.

Next click on the "Write Image" button of the "Master Image" window. You will see a new window that
looks like:

Make sure the image file that you just wrote is shown in the "Write from:" field. If it isn't then select the correct
file name or type it in directly. Next, make sure that your CD-R or CD-RW disk is inserted into the HP CD-RW
drive on klingon. Now, click on the "Start Write Image" button. You'll see another window pop up:

Click on the "OK" button and this window will dissappear to be replaced by the "write image" window:

Initially, this window will say "Writing Image... Please Wait". Then it will say "fixating". Eventually,
It will say "Write Image completed" and the "Cancel" button will change to an "OK" button:

Click on the "OK" button to exit this window. Your CD should now be sitting in the drive tray
which should be open. You will be back in the "Master CD " window. Now click on the
"Delete Image" button. You will see a new screen:

Click on the button next to your image file and then click on the "Delete selected Tracks" button. You will get a new
window:

Click on "Yes" to delete the image file. Next, click on "Back to Main" in the lower left corner of the window.
This will put you back into the main window:

Click on "Exit" to leave xcdroast. Congratulations! You have just mastered your first CD!
