Funny, I seem to get the same eror, and my cables are good. My /dev/hdc
is a Toshiba SD-1312, and reading DVDs & CDs, writing CDs (it's a combo
DVD-R/CDRW) has worked fine.

IO_support = 1 (32-bit)

HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
My guess is that this ioctl is responsible for getting the geometry of
a drive (heads, sectors, etc.) and it's a bit difficult to do so
without a disk in the drive :). But throwing a disk in the drive
doesn't alter the output. I figure it's a pointless query on a CD or DVD
drive.
