Since you tried /dev/scd1 try /dev/scd3 next. > Does anyone know how to find it or see anything wrong with how I set > this up? Here are my instructions for setting up a CD-RW drive on Debian. Perhaps they will help. This sets up a very particular configuration. You will have to adapt it for your installation. Bob Setting up a CD-RW drive I am going to assume that the CD-ROM is on a master IDE device and that the CD-RW is a slave IDE device on the same cable since that is a typical configuration. In order to use the CD writer it must appear as a SCSI device. In that case you might as well treat both of the devices as SCSI for consistency. First you need the kernel to load the ide-scsi module at boot time. Put the name of that driver in /etc/modules. In /etc/modules place the following: ide-scsi The ide-scsi module can only adapt an IDE device to a SCSI if it has not already been grabbed by the normal IDE layer. Therefore the kernel must be instructed to load the ide-scsi driver for these devices at boot time such that the ide-scsi driver will be loaded first. In /etc/lilo.conf place the following: append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" The hdc device is your master device which I am assuming will be your CD-ROM device. The hdd device is your slave device which I am assuming will be your CD-RW device. Test your configuration using cdrecord -scanbus. It should be able to see your CD devices. cdrecord -scanbus At this point things are configured for the kernel to handle the devices correctly as SCSI devices. Now we set up the rest of the system to know about these. Typically on Linux systems the device is aliased as a symlink in /dev. Remove any previous aliases. Create new aliases for the new devices. rm -f /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom rm -f /dev/cdrw ln -s /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrw Create mount points for these devices. These could go anywhere on your filesystem. Typically they will be mounted in / as /cdrom and /cdrw. However another common convention is to mount these under /mnt as /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdrw. For now I will go with the Debian default and show them in /cdrom and /cdrw. mkdir -p /cdrom /cdrw Configure those device nodes and mount points in your filesystem table so that they can be easily mounted. The configuration shown here allows any user to mount and unmount these devices as themself and root capability is not needed. In /etc/fstab place the following: /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrw /cdrw iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 All done!
