IDE to USB question

[Winston S. Percybrooks B.]

Hi everybody,

I've been a user of Fedora for almost a year and a half. Currently my
laptop runs FC2 with a custom 2.6.11 kernel. Recently I try an IDE to
USB case with a 80GB HDD and it works without problems, I could mount
the partitions on the disk through /dev/sda*. Now I'm trying the same
case but with a brand new LG DVD writer and I'm having some troubles. I
can use the drive to burn CDs and DVDs (using cdrecord dev=0,0,0 ...)
but I cannot use the drive to read any disk because mount says that none
/dev/sd* device is valid. So, can any of you help me? I really need to
know how to mount that "hidden" drive. Thanks in advance for your help.

Winston
