I'm using an external USB HP cd-writer cd4e, and I am unable to burn
CDs.

When I plug it in, I get the following output from the dmesg command:
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: HP        Model: CD-Writer cd4f    Rev: 1.0A
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
USB Mass Storage device found at 2
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 20x/20x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda pop-up
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

When I attempt to burn using "cdrecord --dev=/dev/sr0
FC2-i386-disc1.iso" I get:
scsidev: '/dev/sr0'
devname: '/dev/sr0'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported.
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/sr0'. Cannot open
SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you
are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

When I do "cdrecord -scanbus" as root, all it sees is my standard cdrom
drive.
