Hmm...in a shell, as the root user, you'll need to determine what cdrecord likes. |
| 18 |
You may need to try - |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
cdrecord -scanbus |
| 21 |
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA |
| 22 |
cdrecord -scanbud dev=sg |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Generally, USB attached drives show up as SCSI devices, thus an - "ls /dev" will return |
| 25 |
a list with an sdx, where x is a,b,c, etc. |
