This was working up until recently. I have not done anything to my system outside of updating recent patches and adding Evolution 2.0.1. Now whenever I attempt to burn a CD I get the following error.
cdrecord: Illegal write mode for this drive. cdrecord: Drive does not support TAO recording. SCSI buffer size: 64512 cdrecord: Warning: using inofficial libscg transport code version (schily - Red Hat-scsi-linux-sg.c-1.83-RH '@(#)scsi-linux-sg.c 1.83 04/05/20 Copyright 1997 J. Schilling').

This usually means what it sais. As the software develops so will the error messages as well. Since more modes are supported it wll become more picky.
So could you please do a
cdrecord -scanbus
or
cdrecord -scanbus -dev=ATAPI
if you have an ATAPI CD drive?
Then next time you try to burn something with cdrecord use the '-v' flag to get excessive reporting and post it here so we can see what cdrecord thinks of your CD drive.

Thanks, I downloaded a gui and found that I had to tell it to use /dev/hdd and then it worked. Was something upgraded that changed settings on me? As I said, it had worked before. Anyway, I resolved it, I am not at work, so I don't know what the program was, but it helped to resolve it. I think I will have to go into cdrecord.conf and tell it to use default device /dev/hdd. It is set in there to default device is /dev/cdrom. The CDW is /dev/cdrom1 though.
