I can't believe it. 800+ views and not one reply !?
I have exactly the same problem here, running a older Tiny Core 4.X version on a Medion P6624 Laptop with DVD-Writer.
It is recognized by the system i think because
dmesg | grep sr0
shows me:
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
etc/fstab also has device sr0 in it:
/dev/sr0 /mnt/sr0 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0 # Added by TC
As you can see, TC itself created the entry !
Hal daemon is running too:
top | grep hald
11342 1 tc S 15404 0.4 2 0.0 hald --daemon=yes --verbose=no
11343 11342 root S 12792 0.3 0 0.0 hald-runner

I had the same problems trying brasero burning program before, so i think the problem is not the burning software someone uses but a little missing thing in the systems configuration, probably HAL daemon stuff. I will try to read and learn some stuff about hal daemon, probably that helps
I have to admit i never used a CDROM or DVD ever while using Tiny Core. I inserted a usual CDRW with some data on it after all the problems (see above), i
CAN mount this CDRW and
access the stuff on it. While it was mounted, i started K3b, but no luck, K3b does not detect it !
Can somebody please shed some light on this ?
