well first off, is /dev/cdrom the link to the cd recorder? If not I would make that.

How can I check that?
Thanks
Roy

The command should be:

cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 -dev=1,0,0 /path/to/iso.iso

Or do as schotty suggested, link device nodes to whatever cdrecord is searching for. Alternatively you could edit cdrecord configuration file and point it to the actual device.

Good luck.

hello,
i think the issue is that you are trying to write to a scsi device - and you are not using SCSI emualtion (this is good!). Try cdrecord --dev /dev/hdc blank=fast


just wondering - do you not like the GUI tools? Sure, command line is nice but so are the GUI tools - I like cdrecord and gcombust myself.
