By the original question I was checking you had up upgraded from an earlier version of SuSE. Using upgrade on the same version is unlikely to have an effect. At this point I would open up a console and use su to login to root... Type... hwinfo --cdrom at the command prompt. This will return information about your cdrom including the device name... next place one the CDs you are having a problem with in the CD drive and type.. mount -t iso9660 <device name> <directory to mount CD> or alternatively.. wodim dev=<device name> -atip The former will attempt to load the disk, the latter will give information on what the system is thinking the disk is. BTW <device name> is the device name reported by hwinfo... A final think to do is.. cat /etc/fstab to see whether the device is mentioned. Information from the above will give assistance in working out what is happening... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
