K3b fails to burn Windows ISO to DVD-R at 98% (Brasero also fails)

kg flag

I'm trying to create a bootable Windows 8.1 ISO on a blank DVD after my system repeatedly failed to boot from a USB, only showing a flashing dash. I tried using Brasero, but I always get an error that it failed, so I tried K3b and it seems to work until it reaches 98% and than stops for about 30 seconds before displaying an error message. I tried Windows 7 ISO and the exact same thing happens. In Disks the device says: /dev/sr0 (Read-Only) I don't know if that could be the issue. The error Brasero displays is: Error while burning. SCSI error on write(0,16): See MMC specs: Sense Key 5 "Illegal request", ASC 21 ASCQ 04.

Please include OS & release details; you provide some package details but not your OS/release.

Commands like growisofs do not make bootable disks. Look at the description of it, it is for adding data to a data disk.

Update:

I tried xfburn and it managed to burn the ISO successfully. So it seems the problem was with the software.

Problem solved

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
