The hardware list I was referring to is the one in the Mandrake Control Center. I'm running 8.2. Part of the reason for wanting to get my CDRW working is so that I can backup many files before upgrading to 9.1. Mount -a at this point simply takes me back to a command line cursor. I have a very old 1X SCSI CD ROM drive, but not a CDRW). At this point it is listed in MCC hardware list as scd0. The mount point for it at this time is hdb. Opening /mnt/hdb reads from my stone-age 1X CD ROM drive!

May I ask what "hardware list" you are talking about? Is it harddrake? Or dmesg? I am beginning to think that you may need to reinstall linux. What version are you running? Try typing mount -a as root in a terminal. Then check /mnt/hdb when you have a cd in the drive. If it's empty or not accessible, then there is something wrong. Oh ya, what is your /dev/scd0? Do you have another scsi device that isn't a cd? If you do, change your fstab so that the dev=/dev/scd0 becomes /dev/scd1. John Drouhard
