Finance: Get your refund fast by filing online. > http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html I would try going into the MCC and hardware and select the DVD and do a configure on it. Note what the device is called. If supermount is messed up you may try typing "mount /dev/scdx /mnt/cdrom" or better still disable supermount and try the above command. Note the x in scdx is what your system shows in MCC, like scd0 or scd1 etc. The command to disable supermount is "supermount -i disable" IIRC. Somebody confirm please.
