change the permissions on /dev/hdd to 666 or add yourself to the disk group. > Good idea.

I have seen command line options how to do this in > 'man cdrecord', but not in xcdroast. there is an option in the "Write Tracks" screen, after you have accepted track layout, on the right hand side about halfway down called "Write mode" which has a drop down menu. > Further, in tinkering with the config I notice that under 'HD > Settings' it lists my largest empty partition, /home, as "Writeable ? > No" - and also other empty ones on my system. not sure what is wrong there. did you select a directory for storing ripped tracks in the config of xcdroast? > It is also giving me the error message: > > "You have selected an ATAPI device as your CD writer.
