I am no having any luck with the cd-writer.
When running cdrecord -scanbus as root I get the following:

Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J?g Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are 
root.
