Thank you Sir. Actually, I have one of them (2Gb). Never heard it

But I'm also wanting to do all of what a burner is for. I do want to
use it for storing data, but also, I'm planning on using it for
burning music, videos, and other things.


Please bottom post.

I'm confused (as usual); I thought that you got your CD/DVD working.




That's what I thought. <grimace> It seemed to recognize it at first.... but for some reason it
stopped... or I was looking at the wrong thing. I didn't try it burning. But now I don't see it,
let alone burning.

I did make sure the jumpers were right, DVD = Master and the CD = Slave. That's when I thought both
were there.

I was planning on switching cables to put the DVD burner at the end of the cable rather than
second.... it's supposed to be my master.

I looked for the folders (I forget what they were now) that I'm supposed to have for CD and DVD
drives, but there seems to be none.... even though the CD-R works.

Anyway.... I'm near burning over no burning.

I'd recommend connecting just one at a time. Check your bios each time
to see if it is: 1) set correct, and 2) recognizing the drive(s). When
booting into U, make sure your /etc/fstab has an entry for the drives.
Example from my fstab:

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0

Also check to see if the drive is being seen at boot. Open a terminal
windows and:

sudo lshw > lshwmycds.txt

That will run the lshw program and put the output in the lshwmycds.txt
file. It's a plain text file, so you can open it in the terminal:

cat lshwmycds.txt

or text editor.

Then look for the cdrom entry(s) - sample:

*-cdrom
description: DVD reader
product: DVD-ROM SD-C2502
vendor: TOSHIBA
physical id: 1
bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/cdrom
logical name: /dev/dvd
logical name: /dev/scd0
logical name: /dev/sr0
version: 1113
capabilities: removable audio dvd
configuration: ansiversion=5 status=open

BTW: you can name lshwmycds.txt to whatever you want. It's handy to have
one on file & then do another after you add new hardware. That way you
can go back and compare if necessary.
