My DVDRW is now working. Unfortunately there have been lots of changes:
1) I used the original drive to repair a friends business server and
replaced mine with a new drive of the same model. The old drive worked fine
under XP Pro
2) I installed the DVD drive along side a CDRW fearing being without any
optical capability
3) i used an ATA133 IDE cable. Looks fancy - round, short, shiny
4) i have applied all my updates including 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP and I
think I saw a hal update go by recently as well
I copied and burned a NetBeans DVD successfully.
Also used the GUI, added a directory and it burned successfully too.
Also fixed a problem with network-admin by changing properties for System,
Administration, Network deleting gksu in front of network-admin.

My guess is that we were/are stuck in kernel/device updating. The current kernel. org/pub/ linux/kernel/ v2.6/patch- 2.6.25. 8.bz2> kernel. org/pub/ linux/docs/ lkml/reporting- bugs.html - would treat
stable kernel is
*2.6.25.8<http://
*I am not sure how the kernel people -

issues from a specific version. Also not sure how Ubuntu decides when to
update kernels.
Also fixed a problem with network-admin by changing properties for System,
Administration, Network deleting gksu in front of network-admin.
