Just put the entry hda=ide-scsi in the 'append' line of your /etc/lilo.conf file and then run /usr/sbin/lilo as root in a terminal window.
On the subject of CD burning software, there are lots of alternatives you could try. My favourite is kreatecd but unfortunately the RPM on the 8.2 CD is crippled so you would have to compile from source. Another alternative is k3b which has won a lot of fans recently. (it will do things like copy from IDE drives for example) k3b is available as an 8.2 RPM for KDE3 from Texstar at ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/Mandrake-8.2/RPMS derek > TIA > > Anne
