I checked and that was the way it was set up.

I guess the most likely reason for my problems is that the drive is 
faulty, so I'll get a new one.

Thank you all for the help along the way towards that conclusion!

Are there any problems with sata dvd burners and linux? (I think there 
might have been when I built this computer 1.5 years ago, which was why 
I bought the ide version.) Specifically, do any of you have any 
experience with the NEC AD-7170S or the Samsung SH-S183A units?
