found this and was reminded that i do not know the cd in question is master
on the second ide controller

Your first task is to determine the device name. Refer to the chart below:
IDE Port Master/slave Device
1 master /dev/hda
1 slave /dev/hdb
2 master /dev/hdc
2 slave /dev/hdd
3 master /dev/hde
3 slave /dev/hdf
4 master /dev/hdg
4 slave /dev/hdh
For the rest of this document, all examples will be /dev/hdc (master of 2nd
IDE port). Modify these examples to fit your machine.
Unless the device itself works, no CDRW functions will work. So start by
confirming that the device works. With no CD in the CDRW tray, and no mount
of the CDRW, and the CDRW tray in the closed position, perform the following
command:
eject /dev/hdcIf the CDRW tray opens, the device works. Otherwise it
doesn't. Troubleshooting includes making sure you really used the
master/slave jumper setting you thought you did, and making sure power and
IDE cable are correctly connected. You might try the command with /dev/hda
through /dev/hdh just to make sure the CDRW isn't connected differently from
what you thought >
