Can't burn CDs

[Norm <maillist@xxxxxxx>]

My HL-DT-ST CD RW GCE-8240B drive will not write to a disk.  The box is 
a dual boot and when it is in its windoze configuration the drive does 
write correctly.  FC6 can read data on a disk in the drive but it 
refuses to read a blank disk  I have tried using both K3b and x-CD-Roast 
with similar results, Does  Linux have a hardware issue with this drive, 
the only other thought I have is my cd drive is a slave on the same 
controller that my DVD drive is a master on and possibly switching them 
may be the answer.  Before I make the switch I would like to confirm 
that the problem is not a Linux compatibility issue.
