If you're root, "access rights" are not a problem...you're probably being told that the program can't access the SCSI bus or SCSI device. SCSI emulation, if you don't already know, is a way to get an IDE drive to look like a SCSI drive, so your burner program (xcdroast or whatever) can pretend it's talking to a SCSI drive and everything works. What's the error message you get? I'm not sure what "access rights to a location" exactly means. Dan -- lemon | Dan Drake + gecko | drake at lemongecko.org ----- | http://lemongecko.org/drake ?! |
