The Bios or the operating system you are running on it?
I know that IDE HDD detection in the Bios doesn't detect CD drives, what
does the OS detect?
Linux doesn't detect the DVD/CDRW; I suspect that's because I haven't got the appropriate driver. The BIOS doesn't either, and I've tried it with two of the most likely options.
I don't know what interface these modern devices use, is it not an IDE device?
If it's an IDE interface it should be detected at bootup (depends on the distro I suppose). It should then show up in the list of detected IDE devices. I think my burner is /dev/hdc. It can be mounted as an IDE device. You can also install it with the ide-scsi driver to use with cdrecord and the like which works with scsi stuff.
Of course it could also be scsi, 1394 or usb.
