**USB DVD-RW** dmesg shown

Hi guys

I have bought a USB DVD-RW drive its a teac DV-W24ES laptop drive mounted in a IBM case.

I can read CDs and DVDs from it but im having problems trying to write to it.

Here is the link that shows the drive (eBay)

here is an output of dmesg

Code:

anyone have any ideas as to why k3b doesn't detect it?

it looks like linux knows that the drive is a dvd writer, maybe i have to mount it somewhere such as /media/dvdrecorder????

You don't have to mount blank disks to burn them.
