This tells you the device numbers for the cd writer, in my case it's
1001,1,0 because I have other scsi drive on the machine. It'll be
different for you.
Using that gem of info try starting cdrecord in dummy mode thus:-
cdrecord dev=1001,1,0 -dummy -verbose -data
/mnt/data/Isos/PCLinuxOS/pclinuxos-2007.iso
