Please do us a favour and bottom-post - it make the converstion easier to read... you have an IDE attached CDR drive, correct? try this: cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI here this gives me [stuart@laptop stuart]$ cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI <trim lots of output> Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'. scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'QSI ' 'CDRW/DVD SBW242U' 'UD25' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * so a cdrecordline to burn with this could be cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=4 cdimage.iso the ATAPI part is needed. if the scanbus line doesn't work, try doing it as root... any help?
