Hello all,
I'm having a problem with my CD/DVD burner. When I put in a blank CD, it just spins it for a while and does nothing - the cdrom isn't even noticed by Kubuntu. Upon opening K3b, it tells me that it cannot find a CD or DVD burner in my computer and lists available hardware as ATAPI DVD-ROM 16x even though my burner is an MSI DVDRW 16x.
How would I go about 'helping' my computer to recognise the drive? It's on an IDE cable if that makes any difference and I've been googling for MSI linux firmware with no helpful results![Undecided](https://www.kubuntuforums.net/core/images/smilies/undecided.gif)
Thanks,
SM
