Rob, I regret to inform you that your syntax seems to be all wrong, and this stands a good chance of being your problem. I don't myself use cdrecord directly all that often, but I did manage to remember cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus which produced this output: Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling on-the-fly encryption (version 1.0-rc1) built-in, (C) 2004,2005 Maximilian Decker NOTE: this version of cdrecord is an inofficial (modified) release of cdrecord and thus may have bugs that are not present in the original version. Please send bug reports and support requests to <burbon04 at gmx.de>. For more information please see http://burbon04.gmxhome.de/linux/CDREncryption.html. The original author should not be bothered with problems of this version. cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r8 cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris. scsidev: 'ATAPI' devname: 'ATAPI' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Using ATA Packet interface. Warning: The related Linux kernel interface code seems to be unmaintained. Warning: There is absolutely NO DMA, operations thus are slow. Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'. scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) '_NEC ' 'DVD_RW ND-2510A ' '2.15' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * so the correct syntax to access my burner would be cdrecord dev=0,0,0 whatever comes after that. The whole /dev/hdc thing is just not correct (it's "dev=" whatever). Check the man page for more info. Hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.
