Thanks to a great deal of help from people here, primarily "the two
Johns", Yesterday I actually managed to "burn" two CDs using Xxcdroast.
Today when I logged on I got two failure lines in my mandrake boot info.
They were both for scd1. They both said FAILED scd1 does not exist.
I checked in MCC to see if the CDRW drive is still listed and it is not.
When I logged off yesterday it was there twice, once as hdb and once as
scd1.
At this point I'm unable to access the drive at all. So I've actually
taken a step backward. When I started the device at least appeared in
the hardware list as a CD ROM and I could use it as a reader.
Below are the contents of my /ect/lilo.conf and fstab files. Do they
give a clue as to what the problem is?
