hi Mark.
Please do us a favour and bottom-post - it make the converstion easier to 
read...

you have an IDE attached CDR drive, correct?
try this:
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI
here this gives me
[stuart at laptop stuart]$ cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI
<trim lots of output>
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'QSI     ' 'CDRW/DVD SBW242U' 'UD25' 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 a cdrecordline to burn with this could be

cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=4 cdimage.iso

the ATAPI part is needed.

if the scanbus line doesn't work, try doing it as root...

any help?
