Problem resolved (I think). Started having problems reading previously recorded DVDs so did web search. Saw suggestion that 80 wire connector should be used. Checked and found DVD connector was 40 wire. Replaced with 80 wire connector and reading and writing are OK so far. This problem had affected the x86-64 version of Fedora 7 only. The i386 version and Windows (all on same computer) did not have a problem with the 40 wire connector.
