re: hp 7200i

Check read this, UDF enables you to read those CDRW disks you make in
Windows.  

In order to burn CDR disks in linux, you need to recompile your kernel.
DISABLE IDE Atapi CD-rom support, and ENABLE scsi emulation and scsi
generic support.  This will make your IDE burner appear to cdrecord, etc
as a scsi drive on /dev/scd0 or /dev/sr0, or something like that.

There is no write support for CDRW disks in linux like Adaptec DirectCD
lets you make your 7200i appear as a letter under Windows 9x.

Well, there is read-only support for UDF disks, but this project is ready
with the writing part yet...

Just thought I'd share this with you. :-)
