Thank you for your help Alexander, that did it! I did notice something strange in my cdrecord.conf file. This is what I had: CDR_DEVICE=cdrom cdrom= /dev/cdrom -1 -1 burnfree It seemed strange to me because you mentioned /dev/hdX, where in k3b, the device is listed as /dev/hdc. What I typed in that made it work was cdrecord dev=cdrom, as in my cdrecord.conf file. Now my question, is my conf file wrong, or do I need to reconfigure that cd burning apps with the correct device name? Does /etc/fstab have anything with the device name of the cdrom also? Thanks!
