Hi, Do you have the autofs or the amd running (sometimes they are a pain in the neck)? Maybe they are mounting the drive when you insert it. Also, is you cdrw running with scsi emulation? Maybe you need to use another device file other than hd*, maybe a sr0 or something. If your cd is scsi, maybe it is installing the wrong driver for it.
