Hi John and Tony. 

I do indeed have my CDRW mounted as hdb. I did this only because I
didn't have a spare cable lying around and did have the unused connector
on my HD cable. Therefore I believe that the hdb ID is accurate if not
correct.
I see, that's fair enough, if just a litle unconventional.

I actually had the CDRW working again yesterday  but when I rebooted
this morning, I once got the failed does not exist at boot up and the
CDRW drive has once again disappeared from my hardware list in MCC.
John you said:

 

	read-only
   

image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=failsafe
        root=/dev/hda6
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img
        append="failsafe devfs=nomount"
     

add the hdd-ide-scsi to this append line as well.
   

Does that go within the quotes? 

like this,

append="failsafe devfs=nomount hdb=ide-scsi"  <note the spacings>

And will that solve my problem or must I
go out and get an additional cable and make my CDRW either hdc or hdd in
order to get this working properly?
Don't think so, though I've never actually done it your way. is the 
harddrive set at master , and the writer set as slave ? becuse if they 
are both set as master , oops it will not like that. One has to be 
master make that the hard drive, one slave. If that does not work buy a 
new cable, they don't cost that much.

Tony, you asked if I had modified my fstab file myself. No I did not. To
the best of my knowledge the scd0 is my actual SCSI CD ROM drive. hdb
and scd1 are however both referring to my new CDRW drive. Do I need to
alter this? if so, what should it say? and yes both scd1 and scd0 exist
in /dev & /mnt?
 

I didn't think it was your work. In my experience it loked like the 
installers work.I've had some wonderful entries myself recently.
