Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 laptop with DVD-ROM.
I can't get it to burn CD's, as the DVD-ROM is not recognized as a writing device. It reads CDs perfectly.
I've googled around and already tried changing permissions (using k3bsetup, and also manually) for cdrdao, cdrecord and such; adding myself to group "cdrom"; doing "chmod a+xrw hdc", and other permission tweaks, but nothing works.
Apparently this is an ATAPI device, could this be the problem?
Apart from this, as I salvaged the laptop from garbage at work (Windows completely broken and "not financially interesting" repairing it), I don't even know if it IS a writer in the first place... (It says DVD-ROM, does this mean it's only to read?)
I installed PCLinuxOS 2007 (kernel 2.6.18.8.tex5), updated last week with synaptic.
The PCLinuxOS control center gives following information:

Starting K3B from terminal (as root), gives following messages:

Any hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very newbie, but far from an expert, so my hand should be held anyway
Many thanks in advance.
