What is your configuration? Keep in mind if the CD-RW is the on IDE-0
as slave it is probably identified as hdb... you can run #dmesg | less
to read what is identified on the IDE controllers. CD-RW have to use
scsi interface drivers. Perhaps the Seagate is on IDE-1 as master and
would be hdc? Also run #lsmod | less to see which modules *are* loaded.
