hdc links to ??? ide burners

[robghealey]

Greetings all:

In a post earlier someone had told me to check what hdc links to? I am not sure where to look for that information. At boot up, it shows that hdc=Memorex 48MAXX 2448AJ which is correctly identied as my cd burner. I am not sure why, but cdrecord --scanbus doesn't show it being there...

Sincerely,
Rob

I am currently using kernel-2.6.7-1.471 if that makes any difference to my problem.....

If you want to see if /dev/hdc is a symbolic link to another file, just do ls -l /dev/hdc and it'll tell you what hdc links to. If you don't see a link, that means that hdc is your CD burner.
