Hmm...in a shell, as the root user, you'll need to determine what cdrecord likes.
You may need to try -
cdrecord -scanbus
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA
cdrecord -scanbud dev=sg
Generally, USB attached drives show up as SCSI devices, thus an - "ls /dev" will return
a list with an sdx, where x is a,b,c, etc.
