Open a terminal => type "su" and then put in your root password => type "mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom" => double click on HOME, and then click the down arrow until you're in the / directory, find /mnt, double click that, then double click on /mnt/cdrom => you should now see your stuff... When you want to unmount that drive, in the same term you just had open, type "umount /dev/cdrom" or "eject" It would appear that for some reason, your automount is not working correctly...so this is only a hacked fix - not a perm fix... stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.
