I'll assume that your "regular CD-ROM" is an IDE device. As long as you
know which device (i.e. /dev/hd?) to which your CD-ROM is connnected we
should be able to fix.
First, run "cdrecord -scanbus". Base on your above comments you should
only see your burner, not your regular CD-ROM.
Then, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to modify the "kernel" line of your
usual boot image. Add the following based on the device of your regular
CD-ROM: "hd?=ide-scsi". For example, here is my grub.conf entry:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-4 ro root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi
hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-4.img
Finally, reboot and run "cdrecord -scanbus" again. You should see your
drive now and it should work in X-CD-Roast.
Good Luck,
Brian
