Burning software under Redhat 7.3 working with Teac 40x CD-RW

[InFecTed]

I've tested gtoaster but it doesn't recognise my burner, any suggestions?

The problem is more likely with your configuration than with the software. Do a "cdrecord -scanbus" and see if the burner is reported. If it's not, it's a configuration problem. Check out the CD-Writing HOWTO for more info.

Ok, after reading the link I think the problem is that my cd-rw is IDE. And is the only cdrom attached to my system.
How can I get Linux to find my IDE burner? And leave acces to my cd-rom at the same time?
Please give me the lines I need to write and where, help the newbie.

Make sure the ATAPI modules are loading (ATAPI and SCSI emulation or something), hopefully someone can post with the specific names. I couldnt find them in the 2 minutes of FAQ scanning I did. You can look for more information (compile your own kernel and compile them into the kernel 😉). Then add hd?=scsi-ide where hd? is your cdr. None of this should affect the ability to use the cdrw as a cd rom.

I'll try to be more specific: this is the part of the HOWTO you need. Look down about a page for the paragraph beginning "Now to the people with CD-writers for IDE/ATAPI." Most likely, if you're running a default kernel, it's using modules rather than compiled-in options, so you'll probably want the second part. Read it a few times, and if you can't get it to work, say exactly what you tried to do, including error messages.
