Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them with no luck. I'm still unable to write to the CD Writer.
cdrecord -scanbus (as root) still reports the same information. [root@habanero bin]# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J�rg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'.
