[gentoo-user] OT - How to work with USB DVD-RW/CD-RW drive

[Michael Sullivan]

My internal CD-R drive has been experiencing steadily
worsening power fluctuations over the past year or so.
 I haven't been able to write CDs in Windows in
months, but until recently could still write them in
Gentoo.  I ordered a Pacific Digital USB DVD-RW/CD-RW
drive on August 1 and it came in today.  I'm not quite
sure how to go about using it though.  I mainly use
xcdroast for writing CDs (I make daily backups and
write them to CD once a week.)  I use GNOME, and
although my new drive shows up in the "computer:///"
nautilus listing, it is not available to be selected
in xcdroast - it's not listed at all.  I don't even
know where to start looking for the solution to this
problem.  Can anyone help me?
