cdrom and dvd issues.

[Stephen]

hi!

sory i have been gone for ages but i was hanging on for 3.3 and.....erm....problem is still there.

this is what i get with the command "cdrecord -scanbus"


0,0,0 0) 'DVD_ROM' '16X' '5.cv' Removable CD_ROM.
0,1,0 1) 'CDWriter' 'IDE5224' '001H' Removable CD_ROM

of course there, are a bunch of blank lines. but i could not be bothered to type them all in. (freeeeeeekin winmodem).


hope you can help Dave!!

Your drives are there so it is just a matter of having the correct lines in the /etc/fstab, they should look like this:

/dev/scd0       /dvd          iso9660 ro,user,noauto          0       0
/dev/scd1       /cdrom          iso9660 ro,user,noauto          0       0

You would have to edit the /etc/fstab file as root and add the lines or modify them if they already exist and you would then have to mkdir dvd as root in the / directory from a console window.

cd  /  then
mkdir dvd

Then after having made the changes you would right click on the desktop and create the shortcut icons for the drives and you will be able to access them. If you have problems could you post the /etc/fstab file so we can see it.
