Question cd burner reads but won't write


Hi. Can someone help me out with following problem. My CDRW reads cd's fine but won't write to a cd. I've got cdxroast up and running fine, but when i go to blank/write a cd i get following error message:
"cdrecord: Warning: controller returns wrong size for cd capabilities page"
Can someone enlighten me on what this means and what i need to do to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
=S=

output from cdrecord --checkdrive:

cdrecord: No CD/DVD-Recorder device specified.
Usage: cdrecord [options] track1...trackn

Use cdrecord -help
to get a list of valid options.

Use cdrecord blank=help
to get a list of valid blanking options.

Use cdrecord dev=b,t,l driveropts=help -checkdrive
to get a list of drive specific options.

and output from cdrecord --scanbus
