Might I suggest: connect the CDRW as Master, with the DVD as slave. I have Shrike installed (no updates yet). On my system, my CDRW and DVD are Secondary Master and Slave IDE drives. I've burned / erased several CDs on Shrike with success, now ... using X-CD-Roast, or Gnome Toaster. With the former, you can verify the burn against the original files. Naturally, when you load a blank CD in the drive, magicdev will load a blank Nautilus "burn" window. Either you have to be 'fast on the draw" and start your burn / blanking with X-CD-Roast, OR better yet, use the System Monitor to disable magicdev.
