Can read CDs fine. No worries.
Cannot write.

Code:

$ cdrecord -scanbus
scsidev&#58; 'ATA'
devname&#58; 'ATA'
scsibus&#58; -2 target&#58; -2  lun&#58; -2
Warning&#58; Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface.
Linux sg driver version 3.5.27
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus1&#58;
  1,0,0   100&#41; 'HL-DT-ST' 'CD-RW GCE-8523B' '1.01' Removable CD-ROM
  1,1,0   110&#41;  *
    |  |  .. down to ..
   1,7,0   170&#41;  *

Code:

$ cdrecord -dummy -eject blank=all dev=1,0,0
.
.
scsidev&#58; '1,0,0'
scsibus&#58; 1 target&#58; 0  lun&#58; 0
cdrecord&#58; No such file or directory. Cannot open /dev/sg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.

Have checked in grub menu.lst (and lilo.conf) since I use grub for preference for /dev/hdc=ide-scsi - none there.
Anywhere else I should be looking?
How can I tell if ide-scsi is switched on anyway?

Have also checked with another DVD-RW and it is detected correctly but the problem remains.

Any clues?

your grub and lilo.conf are to do with booting, have you checked your /etc/fstab?
