CD Burning
 

Using X-CD-Roast under RedHat 8.0.

I have a CDrom and a CDrw. The CDrom in on an IDE adapter and the CDrw is on the IDE port on the motherboard.

I am using GRUB as the boot loader and dual booting with Windows XP Pro.

I have two hard drives, one on the MB and one on the adapter.

I can get X-CD-Roast to recognize both CD's if I edit /etc/modules.conf and /boot/grub/grub.conf as follows:

options ide-cd ignore='hde hdd'

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=/dev/hda6 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi

But when I do this I cannot boot to Windows. The error says something like, "Cannot mount partition. kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=/dev/hda6 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ted.

Re: CD Burning
 

go to the command prompt of grub by typing c
in there type find /msdos.sys
or find /io.sys
does it return something?

Must Reboot
 

Thanks for the help. I'll have to boot to Linux first, then I'll gey back to you. I haven't gotten Linux online yet.

Stupid Winmodem.

Not Found
 

Okay, msdos.sys and io.sys return the same error, "File Not Found."

Thanks,
Ted.

Oh Well
 

Hmm, oh well. I guess I'll figure out how to burn Cd's some day.

mooreted is your windows partition ntfs?
check your windows partition location from
fdisk /dev/hda
now edit your grub.conf or menu.lst in your /boot/grub folder
Make sure that the correct partition boots.
Maybe it will work!
Finally I thought that you have already configured CD burning and it works.
