To run a low level test on your cdrom drive run the following commands; eject /dev/xxxx #opens cdrom drive tray eject -t /dev/xxx # closes cdrom tray
On my system xxx can be any one of the following; /dev/cdrom -> cdroms/cdrom0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -> ../ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd /dev/hdc -> ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd Hope that helps.
