hi,
here is my optical disc drives setup...
in spite of this madrake 9.1 reads this way...
is there a problem here? what should i do to configure my drives the way they should be? |
See the DVD HOWTO for setting up your DVD.

Your burner should work OK then.
According to the poster below, your DVD doesn't need scsi emulation. Sorry, I don't have a DVD so all I can do is point again to the Linux DVD HOWTO. |
I don't know if the original question got answered by the other posts but the reason that a CD writer needs to be a SCSI device is that cdrecord only understands SCSI devices. That's why the installation sets up the IDE-based writer to use a scsi emulator to make it look like a scsi device. If you look in your grub.conf, you'll probably see some "hdc=ide-scsi" in there. (If you use lilo, it's like append="hdc=ide-scsi" )
Now there is no reason to do that for the DVD. The vanilla IDE driver is fine (you won't use the SCSI-only cdrecord with this drive). That's why you see what you see, and it's all fine and as it should be. mlp |
so there's no problem at all?
then why is it that whenever i change properties in my dvd-rom icon, this window appears... Could not save properties. You do not have sufficient access to write to /home/...Desktop/DVD-ROM Device. however, it does not appear when i change cd-rw settings... |
Do a
ls -l ~/Desktop and then see what the permissions and owners for the DVD-ROM are, and if they are different for your writer and DVD. I bet they are. That has most lilely nothing to do with the device in in /dev/. mlp |
-rwxr--r-- 1 nateraln nateraln 226 Jul 13 21:33 CD-RW Device*
-r-xr--r-- 1 nateraln nateraln 215 Jul 13 21:35 DVD-ROM Device* yup, no write permission.. now how can i make changes in dvd-rom properties? |
cd ~/Desktop
chmod 744 'CD-RW Device' [ you need the quotes because of your apparent space in the name ] will do it. Good luck, mlp |
got it... thanks a lot

Your CD writer has to have scsi emulation or it will not work! (Well it will, but only as a reader.)
Earlier today I thought I would try to get my dvd to emulate scsi as I read that "grip" will rip audio tracks of CDs faster. What I did was to go into KDE Control Centre and select LILO. Using administrator mode and the Expert tab, in the lines append="something in quotes" I added hdd=ide-scsi immediately after where it already had hdc=ide-scsi. After rebooting, it took a little messing around in both the Mandrake and KDE Control Centres, but I did manage to get the cdrecorder mounted at /mnt/cdrecorder and the DVD at /mnt/dvdrom. I got rid of the original /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdrom2 and yes, access is definitely quicker. Grip goes about twice as fast (not touching Nero in Windows but a definite improvement). I had to edit my DVD and CDRW icons on the desktop, but now when I click on them, I get Konqueror opening and displaying a list of entries much quicker! I had to unload and reload K3B afterwards. However, the latest version is available for Mandrake users from Texstar. If you use Mandrake go to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon to set up your Mandrake Control Centre>Software Install to use Texstar, Mandrake contrib, PLF, and other sources. DAVE |
