Hi,

I have a an ME-325X usb2.0 combo drive. When I plug the drive in it is
automatically recognized as /dev/sda. I am able to manually mount the
drive eject it and view the contents of any cd or dvd i put into it from
the desktop/cli wonderfully.

However I cannot use it as a cd/dvd burner. It doesn't show up in xcdroast
or k3b or even in Yast as a CDROM device. If I attempt to manually add the
device /dev/sda or /media/cdrom (which is how I have it mounted) I get
an error that the device cannot be found. I get the impression that the
drive is only being recognized as a directory rather than a real CDROM
device(if that makes sense)

Most usb devices seem to be automounted such as my digital camera or usb2.0
mp3 player. These devices automatically show up in /media as something like
usb-0002F0F721A84615:0:0:0p1 or Sony-DSC-0004A0BC4564683498.....

What might be the problem here and how might I be able to correct it so I
can burn CDs and DVDs?


Thanks
John
