SCSI - IDE problem

[CaptainPinko]

when i type

cdrecord -scanbus


it displays my CD-RW drive (ie. /dev/cdrom1) but does no display my CD\DVD drive (/dev/cdrom), w/o out it i can't copy audio tracks from my other drive for CD to CD transfers

in the Linux Super Bible REdhat 8.0 in the example the guy has a screenshot showing his read-only cd-rom being displayed by scanbus

and i wrong here or is there someway to make it scsi-able? any help would be appreciated, it did check the nhf but the mention LILO and i use GRUB

I could be mistaken here Pinko, but I think the reason cdrecord scanbus doesn't come back with your DVD drive listed is because there is no need to. In other words, I don't think cdrecord is going to pick any devices that don't need SCSI emulation or are not SCSI drives. If you can mount the drive, read media from the drive, then you should be fine. As long as Linux can read from the drive, I see no reason it won't work. Perhaps the author had a SCSI based CDROM and then the CDRW was picked up due to SCSI emulation. Tell you what. Go out and download gtoaster. Install it and mount your DVD drive. See if you can do a direct copy to copy.

Add hdc=ide-scsi to the kernel line in your Grub config.

kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 apm=off acpi=off hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi vga=788

alright, now what file is the GRUB config

alright, now what file is the GRUB config?

Either /etc/grub.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst, or a grub.conf somewhere else under /boot.
