I do not have a USB CDRW, so I cannot give practical advice, but this site may help you http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?id=11&o=100&w=t&s=v&d=a Also take a look at dmesg It should show you the dialogue when the usb-storage module got loaded. Your lsmod table shows the module got loaded, but no devices are using the module. One problem I have seen with other usb devices is a message like "Device not accepting address" This in my case was an IRQ interrupt problem. This HOWTO may help http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
