Hi, I recently installed a Sony cdrw in place of the floppy in my inspiron 8000. In 'hardware config' of Mandrake Control Centre, it is recognized but when I try to access the drive in a file manager, it just freezes the file utility. I tried it with Konqueror, XWC and GMC. Mandrake 8 recognized and installed it but the file managers can't seem to make the transition. Thoughts? Thanks and regards, Bill W.
