I don't know that this wil help, I had a similar problem, in that a cd would initially read, but I could not umount the drive, always busy, or remove the cd, and the activity led would stay on. I had to reboot to get the CD out of the drive. I had two drives on the machine, so for a while I just used the cd r/w as it worked ok. Then for some reason I changed out the cdrom drive and all was OK. strange... Another issue I have with two drives is that when installing software under software-manager, I will start out with the first cd in scd0 and if a diff cd is required, it will open the 2nd drive scd1, not the first one. -- Gerald Waugh http://frontstreetnetworks.com SOHO Networks & Web Site Hosting Front Street Networks LLC voice +1 203 785 0699 * fax +1 203 785 1787 229 Front Street, Ste. #C, New Haven CT 06513-3203
