CD burner Type


What is the type for a cd burner in etc/fstab?
My CD ROM is ISO9660 CD-ROM
and I have that for my cd writer, but it only reads, and doesn't write
Should I change the type? or is there another problem with my CD writer?

Thanx

This is the line for my burner in /etc/fstab.
Code:
/dev/sr1  /cdrom1  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
It is my fourth ide drive (hdd) so I had to add hdd=ide-scsi to the append line in /etc/lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo to commit the changes and reboot.

Also had to create the /cdrom1 directory it is the second cdrom. If you only have the one cdrom the /dev/sr1 line will be /dev/sr0 /cdrom.
