I have recently installed mandrake 8.0. Mostly everything is Ok, but I have one big problem. Although I can access my DVD drive, attempting to access my CD writer inariably crashes the system. Going into harddrake, there appears to be a problem of some sort - the device is listed as both a scsi and an ide interface (it is an ide drive). The drive model is Ricoh MP7083A-DP. I attempted to run the 'drives' tool in harddrake merely because it looked like it might help - however, nothing appeared to happen. As you have probably guessed, I am a complete beginner, and any help would be very welcome.
