1)
Has anyone succesfully used 

HP cd-writer 9100i (IDE) 
xcdroast
Debian 2.2. (potato)

combined to burn cds?

My brand new machine has got the above combination and I cannot setup
xcdroast.
xcdroast setup doesn't seem to see the cdwriter as a writer at all. 

On the kernel there are installed ide-sci and sg modules 
Any clue, where the problem is?

2)
How to use instead cdrecord program (if xcdroast doesn't work) to copy
cds?

My burner is /dev/hdc and there is another cddriver at /dev/hdd
