When a CD-ROM is mounted, then the burn programs are supposed to refrain
from accessing the drive.

Is there perhaps another drive attached to your computer ?

What do you get from

  cdrskin --devices

which should list the accessible drives, like

  0  dev='/dev/sr0'  rwrw-- :  'HL-DT-ST'  'BDDVDRW GGC-H20L'
  1  dev='/dev/sr1'  rwrw-- :  'HL-DT-ST'  'DVDRAM GH24NSC0'

In order to have them all accessible, remove the CD so that it cannot be
mounted when you let cdrskin look for drives.


Have a nice day :)
