Guest SDMF Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 I'm trying to use eroaster to copy CDs. However, when I go in Preferences to have it detect the DVD-ROM drive, it just brings up the info for my CD-RW. It doesn't seem to want to use a non-SCSI source. Is there a way around this? The DVD-ROM is a Toshiba SD-1502, and works perfectly under all other apps that I have used it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Unfortunately, no.. the only way for any cdwriter software that uses cdrecord to detect a cd device (as a writer or just a reader) is to setup the scsi emulation. But why don't you do it? I use scsi emulation in my dvdrom and there is no bad side effects coming out of that. All I have to do is edit my /etc/lilo.conf and change a few lines to be like this. append="noquiet devfs=mount mem=nopentium hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" in which hdd is my dvdrom and hdc is my cdrw. Then run /sbin/lilo -v and reboot, and voila.. cdburner software can detect my dvdrom (you may need to edit your /etc/fstab file also to reflect the changes you make in the filesystem. You need to change the line that says /dev/hdd to /dev/scd1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
