Re: [newbie] CD-RW at hdc inaccessible
When I boot, that first screen that lists all your hardware lists both CD drives as PIO 4. Would that have anything to do with my problem? In other words, should my CD-RW drive be anything else? Are there any BIOS settings that may be interfering?

Here's my set-up: hda - hard drive hdc - CD-RW hdb - nothing hdd - DVD-ROM Can you read it as /dev/cdrom? How about as /dev/scd0? I can't recall why but I think you're not supposed to reference hdc except as /dev/scd0--/dev/cdrom/. On my system ( I have a harddrive at hda and a cd-rw at hdc) there are no symlinks from any of the hdN devices. Instead, my drive is /dev/scd0 which is linked to /dev/cdrom. Any particular reason why you need to reference hdc? - Chris

If the hdc=ide-scsi line is not there then you should add it and then as su in console at the prompt type lilo without the quotes. Sorry if you already know some of this. Any way, that should get you ability to read your cdrw. If not come back and let us know. Onward , -- Dennis M. registered Linux user #180842
