I'm running a Del Optiplex GX100 with 198 MB of ram, an internal CD and
an external USB CD-RW (Dynex Combo 52-32-52X 16X).

I've managed to create an ISO and am trying to burn it, without success.

My settings in the CD Burn App are:
=========================================================================
VDI device 1,0,0 Speed 2
Image file ".../iso/mydsl.iso"
Write CD from image [X]
Logfile /temp/cdw.log
DC-ROM /dev/cdrom
CD-RW device /dav/scd1
Volume ID mydsl1
Blank fast [X] Eject when done [X]
Disk at once [ ] Joliet information [X]
Rock Ridge [ ] Useful RR attriutes [X]
Dummy Write [ ] Show log after write [ ]
Auto show volume [ ] Pad [X]
Multi-session [ ] Burnproof [X]
Boot image
=========================================================================

What am I missing here?

What happens when you try to burn? What errors do you get?

when you run (from a terminal window)

sudo cdrecord -scanbus

what do you get?

Open the "System Stats" and select the dmesg tab. Scroll down until you see CD-ROM and see what entries there are (make sure the USB drive is connected at startup so it can be detected, this is not required for normal operation and may not be required for this).

or type from a terminal window

dmesg | grep CD-ROM

Here is what I get from cdrecord when I run it with my cdwriter attached (Pacific Digital USB 1 CDRW 24x10x40)

Can you even 'read' from your cdrom ?
have you tried to put a disk in and read it's contents?

sometimes you have to manually mount it
(doesn't always work in emelfm, so use root terminal)

i think for usb-cd it's mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/some_dir
