My internal CD-R drive has been experiencing steadily worsening power fluctuations over the past year or so. I haven't been able to write CDs in Windows in months, but until recently could still write them in Gentoo. I ordered a Pacific Digital USB DVD-RW/CD-RW drive on August 1 and it came in today. I'm not quite sure how to go about using it though. I mainly use xcdroast for writing CDs (I make daily backups and write them to CD once a week.) I use GNOME, and although my new drive shows up in the "computer:///" nautilus listing, it is not available to be selected in xcdroast - it's not listed at all. I don't even know where to start looking for the solution to this problem. Can anyone help me?
