Look in lilo.conf and see if you are booting the hda with the following
scripts in lilo:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-floppy quiet"
vga=788
read-only
except the above hdd= will read something differrent. If the hdc=ide-scsi
line is not there then you should add it and then as su in console at the
prompt type "lilo" without the quotes. Sorry if you already know some of this.
Any way, that should get you ability to read your cdrw. If not come back and
let us know. Onward ,
