Re: [newbie] Cd recorder works but-----
Why they dont put CDROMs aswell as CDWriters as scsi-emulation by default, is anyones guess, anyone know a reason not too? I have had no problems having CDROM as ide-scsi

Many many 1 thanks!! It is working I think.

In order to use a cdrom burner you have to use scsi emulation for that device. Here's how to do it: Determine what device your burner actually is. listing the /dev directory should tell you.

I got that part to work, but the cd rom read only drive is not recognised by xcdroast, linux will recognise it, but not the app because the app wants a scsi drive, how would I go about making the first drive as a reader get recognised by xcdroast so I can direct copy a cd in the reader to the already working burner, the reader is not recognised by the app, just linux.
