No...what he's saying is make a symbolic link between /dev/cdrom and /dev/sg1. However, since you can't mount /dev/sg1, I agree, it's not likely to make any difference. John

David van Balen wrote: Is there a way to mount my cdrw drive so that I can view it like my cdrom? It's an ATAPI BCE 62IE drive and works fine for writing. If it is an ATAPI drive, then it will work as a reader directly. That is, unless you have done something to tell Linux that it is a simulated SCSI device.If so, remove that, and you should have a CDROM reader. For kernels 2.2.10 or later, to utilise the writer part of the drive (since ALL CD writers use the SCSI command set - even across an ATAPI interface) as superuser you must manually: rmmod ide-cd // if it exists modprobe ide-scsi Use cdrecord -scanbus to check that the writer is now accessible. After writing is completed, remember to put it back to reader state as superuser by manually: rmmod ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd// if it existed I hope this gives you enough starting clues to get both sides working g. You do not have to specify which device if your kernel is 2.2.10 or later. Finally, you should never attempt to mount a CD writer. The writing software provides the SCSI device lister (-scanbus) and the hardware driver. The kernel is NOT involved. One day (perhaps) the kernel will support CD writers in a generic fashion sigh.
