    I wouldn't think it's a GRUB thing that tells the computer what driver to use for the CD Writer. The way i would go about it (i think) would be to recompile the kernel to emulate CD-RW's as scsi drives, but i am not 100% sure about this, i cd do with doing this myself, once i am 100% about how to go about it

    That's the old way of doing it. You don't have to have SCSI emulation to burn. I've been burning with straight ATAPI for probably 2 years now with no problems. It's the way it's done now.

    it depends on the kernel. Pre 2.6 you need to do SCSI emulation. All you need to add to grub in the kernel parameters is hdc=ide-scsi (If I recall correctly, I am away from my computer currently so I can't check )

    True..and that *should* be all that you need to do to get it working under <2.6. I assumed, though, that he was running 2.6. My bad...we all know what assuming does...
