Well, we checked to see if cdrdao was installed, it was.  Made a few minor 
modifications in /etc/modules.conf to ignore hdc and hdd for ide-cdrom 
module. Double checked everything.  Tried your cdrecord command above, it 
failed.  Tried to have XCDRoast create a cd image to burn from, in other 
words a 2 stage burn process rather than a burn on the fly.  It failed 
reading from the cdrom and created a zero byte file for the image and toc 
files.  Then we used XCDRoast to burn some files off the hard drive without 
any trouble.
Now we've narrowed down the problem.  The NEC CDROM Drive:28D with firmware 
3.03 doesn't like the kernel or cdrecord for MDK 9.1.  We searched for a 
firmware update on NEC's and Dell's web site and came up with nothing.  Not 
sure of the exact model number stamped/printed on the drive.  It was getting 
too late to open the case and find out.  Anyone know of a good web site that 
has firmware updates for various stuff, kind of like www.drivers.com?  I have 
a Toshiba 32X(Model XM-6302B) that I could put in there and hope that it 
doesn't have the same problem.  Any ideas from anybody about this?

Jim
