my cd drive seems to be hdd

grenada ~ # dmesg | grep hd
Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 vga=0x305

hda: cache flushes supported
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
hdd: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, UDMA(33)

and cdrecord looks for it

but when i come to burn an iso it does this

I've always used -dev=/dev/whatever, not a number, and it works fine - you have no "-" before dev and are using a number... one or both of these must be the problem

Interesting - what is "wodim" that it mentions using /dev/hdc? I don't have it installed. What arch are you running?

Also your CD drive is hdd, so if that bottom code was a copy/paste it's no surprise it didn't find hdc...

Is your cd device working? I got a similar message when my cdwriter could no longer write to a CD.

Good spot champ - even in the first post hdd is listed as a CD-ROM drive, not a CDRW which is a very good reason for it not to be able to write anything. So obvious no-one saw it!
