CDRW

[bpark]

Dolda,

You are going to think I'm a dumb ass (and I will agree) but the whole problem was because I was trying to open /dev/cdrom instead of the mount directory /cdrom. Of course I'm not mounting an audio CD but nontheless, /cdrom I was supposed to look. So with all this commotion, I would really like to apologize for my sheer stupidity.

I'm sorry for saying so, but that actually is pretty funny. =)

Anyway, I take it it's working now?

hey along these line i got a cd-rw/DVD combo my DVD does not work (mostly because i dont have C compiler...yet!!!) but anyway i dont need that to work i need my RW function to work it will bun CD's but it wont rewrite CD's i dont really matter too much as i can burn cds but its going to get expensive since my box does not have a floppy so cd-r's are the only way to get data off my box(its a laptop).

Rewriting to a CDRW shouldn't be much of a problem. Do you have all the appropriate modules loaded or builtin to the kernel?

What happens when you try to rewrite CDs, and how do you go about doing it?
