CDROM drives show up as /dev/scd?

He may want to look at the /var/log/messages file to see what it
reports.

I only recently have done similar.

cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0
    Host scsi0: usb-storage
        Vendor: Cypress Semiconductor
       Product: USB2.0 Storage Device
Serial Number: 000000030515
      Protocol: Transparent SCSI
     Transport: Bulk
          GUID: 04b468300000000000030515
      Attached: Yes


Have a look at fdisk -l  it should list all partitions known. It may 
not necessarily show up as sda, since you have a scsi CD writer
allready.

Once you know the sdx  (I'd guess it will be /dev/sdb1 or something) 
you could add to /etc/fstab:

/dev/sdb1               /mnt/my_usb_hd         auto    noauto,owner,rw 0
0
  Make a directory /mnt/my_usb_hd of course..

Then mount with 'mount /mnt/my_usb_hd' .

That's how I did it. I also played around with 
/etc/security/console.perms  and setup so that an ordinary user could 
mount my disk.



Cheers,
Michael
