I tried to install one of those pny flash drives and when I changed my
fstab and rebooted, I lost my cdrom, are there conflicts with a cd-rw
iomega for example? Funny thing is, the word cdrom disappeared from
/dev/cdrom and fstab and from /mnt, like a gremlin removed the mention
of the word cdrom.

EXPN "pny"?

You don't usually need to reboot when you change hardware around.

USB and IDE flash drives all follow their respective standards and there
should be no problems with using them with any normal CD-R*.

Which version of which distro are you using? This sounds a lot like
what would happen if you were using Redhat and the "kudzu" keyword was
present in /etc/fstab . That keyword usually causes more problems than
it solves. Put the appropriate fstab line for your CD-R* in again and
leave off the kudzu keyword.
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search , group
comp.os.linux.hardware , keyword "kudzu" for the full story about this
keyword and why you don't typically want to use it. HTH,
