Use the command line tools to start with.
Does the command lsmod (as root) show the module ide-scsi loaded?  If not, do 
a 

# modprobe ide-scsi

Check the end of /var/log/messages to ensure that it has loaded OK.  Then use 
the command

# cdrecord --scanbus

to check that the writer shows.  Once you have reached that stage you should 
be able to do a test burn as root using the gui tools (which are just a 
frontend to cdrecord).  If that works, try burning a disc as an ordinary 
user.
