OK, I've got a slim external optical drive here, it's the kludge type -- I bought a kit on eBay to convert my IDE laptop DVD burner to a USB device. Two cables, one for data and one for power.
I plug everything in, stick in my CD-RW, and open ImgBurn. As soon as I get to the "burn an ISO" page (a Puppy Linux ISO was the intended data) it tells me "Device Not Ready: Head Select Error".
What.
The.
F*ck.
Is the drive just bad, or do I need another kit, or what do I do to fix this thing?
