Sony CRX2100U: An External Enclosure

My DVD-RW drive in my media center was giving me a lot of trouble while trying to burn DVDs, so I decided to use a different drive instead, this time with a USB-IDE adapter going to my laptop. This adapter didn't work, so I turned to my Sony CRX2100U. By default, it's only a CD-RW drive, but I hypothesized that it was actually a USB-IDE external enclosure plugged into an IDE CD-RW drive. It turns out that I was correct. I was able to slip in an IDE DVD-RW drive.

Also, this is a really good external drive in general so it gets the:

Just today, I loaded some new songs on my Sansa e250 mp3 player, and I later realized that I had a duplicate song. I had just turned off my Windows desktop, and I'm lazy, so I ended up trying to figure out how to delete the file from the device with my CR-48. With a little exploring, I figured it out in a jiffy:

1. Follow my previous post (it's right before this one) on how to get into the dev mode terminal.

2. Type dir /media

3. Then type cd -P (whichever device seems like the right one, without these parentheses. Make sure to be using correct capitalization throughout this process, or lack thereof)

4. Then type dir. A list of files from that device should come up.

5. After you've determined which file you want to delete, type sudo rm (file, without parentheses)

There ya go, deletion completed. A little message about admins and whatever should also come up after deletion, but it doesn't mean there was an error. Happy chroming! :)
