Hi again John.

I edited the fstab file as you suggested. The contents appears below.

/dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount 
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/mnt/scd0 /mnt/scd0 supermount 
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,suid 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0

 

OK, Langsley, I think it's time to start dropping supermount, maybe you 
have the same problem with supermount as me. S0 I would like you to copy 
this script ,

/dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/scd0 /mnt/scd0 auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0

into a fresh new text file on desktop , do this by moving the cursor 
over a blank spot on desktop, rightmouse click down to create new - text 
file, and name it fatab, then  move the cursor over the icon of the new 
fstab textfile and roghtmouse click- down to open with text editor, and 
choose one, say kwrite , and then sweep the text I have given you here 
with the mouse cursor and move the cursor over the open fstab text file 
left mouse click to position, and then press middle mouse button, and 
all the copyied text will fill out onto the page, then save and exit.

You then have a new fstab file .
Go to /etc directory in konqueror window and rename the existing fstab 
file fstab1, then copy your new fstab file to /etc directory.

in a terminal , type, mount -a

and see if that gives you a writer

test by putting up something like xcdroast and see if it appears in the 
device list.

or type in terminal,

cdrecord -scanbus, and see what it says,

John
