[ltp] Burning DVD

[SOTL]

I built this box about 4 years ago and have not touched it in over 2 years 
except for usage.

The computer to my recollection has always had this problem.

The program and other programs see the burners and are able to read CD and 
DVD.  It just can not write CDs or DVDs.

Checkingdevices I found that 
burner hda=3,0,1
burner hdb=3,64,1

If I recall correctly 
floppy = 1,0,?

Which means that the HD must be 2,0?

If the ribbon cables for the burners and HD were switched would this issue 
occur.


Thanks
