Re: Fw: [newbie] Fw: CDRproblems
I believe there's a copy of LILO on the boot disk... at least a file that says where to boot from. Try changing that.

I' ve read posts and articles about recompiling the kernel to change the IDE to scsi . that doesn't seem to work because I really don't have any idea what I'm doing. Anyway my question is can I reinstall Mandrake and when it ask if I have scsi devices , should I check yes? Will this clear up the problem?

Re: Fw: [newbie] Fw: CDRproblems
Try "cdrecord -scanbus" as root. If that shows a burner attachted, edit /etc/fstab and see where the line for your CD-R is trying to mount the device from. It should probably be changed to /dev/scd0. If you've got 7.0 just try to change the line dev=blah to "dev=/dev/scd0".
