Re: cdrecord doesn't recognize my cd (re-)writer
What does "cdrecord -scanbus" say?
You should see something like:
Cdrecord 1.9 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 2.1.39
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 8200 ' '1.0f' Removable CD-ROM
0,1,0 1) *
0,2,0 2) *
0,3,0 3) *
0,4,0 4) *
0,5,0 5) *
0,6,0 6) *
0,7,0 7) *
You have to give cdrecord a "dev=x,y,z" argument using the numbers
returned by "cdrecord -scanbus" (dev=0,0,0) in my example above.
See:
man cdrecord
also the CD-Writing-HOWTO.
