sudo grep -i dvd /var/log/messages gives me... Aug 11 07:22:18 localhost kernel: hda: DVDRW IDE 16X, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Aug 11 07:22:18 localhost kernel: hda: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache
( hard disk is sata, so I plugged dvd in primary ide ). If you take the result of that (in my case hda) and try and mount that sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom things'll maybe get clearer??? If you don't find a dvd entry, then the device isn't being initialised. hth, Steve Matthew Whiting <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > the results of my trying again mounting the cdrom... > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom > mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist > > prob just take it in and see if can get it looked at under warranty but > any further suggestions appreciated... > > thanks > > >mkdir /mnt/cdrom > > > >try again > > > >On Fri, 11 Aug 2006 08:37:49 +1200 > >Matthew Whiting wrote: > > > > > > > >>>Try using Konqueror or Nautilus to mount or play the disks and see if > >>>it works. > >>> > >>>Or in console 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom' etc. > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>Cheers, gave that a stab and this was the result - > >> > >>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom > >>mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist > >> > >> > >> > > > > > > > >
