Thanks Rick, after checking around this morning and learning about lsmod, insmod, modprobe, rmmod and modinfo, and verifying that it was indeed there im sure that your sugestion is what is needed. I will give it a try later.

If you're using lilo, verify that you have
append="hdx=ide-scsi" (replace "hdx" with the appropriate device) in your /etc/lilo.conf file and re-run lilo or add it to your /boot/grub/grub.conf file.
This causes the kernel to treat your CDRW drive as though it were SCSI, and forces the system to load the ide-scsi module. gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord, cdrdao and the rest ONLY talk to SCSI devices, and this makes your IDE drive LOOK like SCSI.
