Problems with cd burner

[Devin Whalen]

Hey,

I am trying to burn some files on my Linux box but I can't seem to mount
the cd-rw drive as rw.  It is a usb cd burner and it is getting picked
up by the system but when I try to mount it I get this error:

/home/devin root at localhost:]$mount -o rw /mnt/cdrom2/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

Then when I type mount I get this for the cdrom:
/dev/sr0 on /mnt/cdrom2 type iso9660
(ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,users,umask=0022,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850)


I tried editing my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom2 auto
umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,rw,exec,users 0
0
That seems right to me...but obviously isn't working.  How could it be
write-protected?  There must be some option I am missing.

BTW, here is what I am using:
[/home/devin root at localhost:]$uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.8.1-10mdk #1 Wed Sep 8 17:00:52 CEST 2004 i686
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz unknown GNU/Linux


Thanks for any help.

Later
