Thanks, I downloaded a gui and found that I had to tell it to
use /dev/hdd and then it worked. Was something upgraded that changed
settings on me? As I said, it had worked before. Anyway, I resolved it,
I am not at work, so I don't know what the program was, but it helped to
resolve it.
I think I will have to go into cdrecord.conf and tell it to use default
device /dev/hdd. It is set in there to default device is /dev/cdrom. The
CDW is /dev/cdrom1 though.
