What type of recordable media are you using and how did you create the disc? It's possible that your optical drive can't read the media you used, or that it doesn't like the options you used when creating the disc. Does the system recognize the optical drive that's installed? If you execute "probe-scsi-all" at the ok> prompt, the drive should show up in the listing. -Damian
