It's a pain in the keister to have to remember to change the address when one only wants to reply to the post _on the mailing list_ in order to try to help. Most of what I've learned regarding the uses of ISOs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs etc in GNU/Linux came from the page at the link below or is linked from there. It's a good place to start. http://www.cpqlinux.com/cdrw.html Eroaster is a front end for cdrecord. It only reads IDE devices that are 'SCSI emulated' and you'll need to add IDE-SCSI to append the stanza in: /etc/lilo.conf that shows your CD-ROM. eg.: hdx=ide-scsi where 'x' is the a, b, c, etc of the drive. All of the editing you want to do there has to be done as super user (su) or root. In your case you should add hdc=ide-scsi for your cd-rom to the append lines. This will sometimes cause it's own troubles too. Once you add the phrase to the append line that's there open a terminal and as su (root) type: sbin/lilo -v then at the new prompt: reboot -n. You should be able to have eroaster recognise the cdrom as a read device after that reboot. Hopefully. If I've made any errors I'm sure one of our list-mates will correct me. Or just find (in any mirror's contrib directory) k3b and install and use that instead for copying disk to disk. This is a link to one place you can find it: ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/9.0/contrib/RPMS and you can use the KDE package manager to install it so it'll appear on the menus. I'm absolutely _not_ certain if any of the above will do you any good since it's not the method I use. If I need to copy a disk I just copy it to a hard drive (any of the 4) and burn the copy from there. Small relatives are bad news on any CDs that aren't backed up; even though they never seem to touch the ones that have been copied and can't get at the originals. When I hear "Shiny Frisbee!!!" I start looking. Quickly. The little monsters. :-) Regards; -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org "Any news from the President on a successor?" he asked hopefully.
