I am a new user of LINUX and I am having a problem with mounting my CDROM in redhat 7.2. the cdrom is connected as slave with ide1, that most probly refers to hdd=cdrom, right. Now after I tried to mount it in the first place it was saying this is not a valid block device. then I thied the following commands

re /dev/cdrom and then

ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom

after that i tried to mount it again and now it is saying

mount: Special device /dev/cdrom does not exist.

How can I use my cdrom ? (My cdrom is creative 52x, internal, IDE, and connected as secondary slave.)

Please HELP............................
