Your drive could need cleaning, or have worn out, or in some way have been disconnected. Those kind of drives have to be replaced every so often. If it's a usb drive, have you done a modprobe usbmass yet? If not, that may be all you need to get things going. If you read dmesg does the cd drive even show up as a valid device now? If not, maybe insmod usbmass will fix that and get you burning.
I have both drives, and they both seem OK. IDE one is sr0 and USB one is sr1:

I don't think any of the drives has worn out... It's too much of a coincidence cdrecord has problems with both...
Your comment suggests that you would expect cdrecord to work OK. So maybe you don't have any problems with it...
Forgot to mention, I can mount ISO DVDs/CDs with both drives without problems. So even though that's different than burning, gives the clue that maybe it's not about the HW this time, :-) Thanks, -- Javier.
