Your first task is to determine the device name. Refer to the chart below: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
IDE Port Master/slave Device |
| 8 |
1 master /dev/hda |
| 9 |
1 slave /dev/hdb |
| 10 |
2 master /dev/hdc |
| 11 |
2 slave /dev/hdd |
| 12 |
3 master /dev/hde |
| 13 |
3 slave /dev/hdf |
| 14 |
4 master /dev/hdg |
| 15 |
4 slave /dev/hdh |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
For the rest of this document, all examples will be /dev/hdc (master of 2nd |
| 18 |
IDE port). Modify these examples to fit your machine. |

Unless the device itself works, no CDRW functions will work. So start by |
| 21 |
confirming that the device works. With no CD in the CDRW tray, and no mount |
| 22 |
of the CDRW, and the CDRW tray in the closed position, perform the following |
| 23 |
command: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
eject /dev/hdcIf the CDRW tray opens, the device works. Otherwise it |
| 26 |
doesn't. Troubleshooting includes making sure you really used the |
| 27 |
master/slave jumper setting you thought you did, and making sure power and |
| 28 |
IDE cable are correctly connected. You might try the command with /dev/hda |
| 29 |
through /dev/hdh just to make sure the CDRW isn't connected differently from |
| 30 |
what you thought > |
