Re: Writing cd's

I altered something earlier this evening, but no joy then.
Not sure what I altered but tried again just now with xcdroast and it
worked.

Thanks Chris  Nick for your help.

That's correct, assuming that /mnt/cd is a mount point you have created.
It's usually /mnt/cdrom

mount should be able to deduce the type of file system it's mounting for 
itself. Note that you do not mount the cd to write to it.

I assume you are still on a series 2.4 kernel with that distro?

are you sure you are running the ide-scsi driver? you need to boot your
kernel with the option hdb=ide-scsi

if you are , then what user are you when running cdrecord -scanbus?

if you get the same result as root, then can you please tell us what
device you mount when you mount a cd in the cdrw drive?
