Are you sure the drive is working? Did you put a writable CD or DVD in 
the drive? And if you are writing to DVD, is the DVD the proper type, of 
+R or -R?

Have you run `mount` to see the optical drive device?

I don't often need to burn a CD or DVD -- today was my first time in a 
while that I've done it. I much prefer using flash drives to transport 
files. Capacities are generally larger, and flash drives seem less prone 
to damage than CD/DVD media.

If I must burn a DVD, I like to use growisofs.
