I have a second-hand computer with a recently-installed CD-ROM drive that I have given little or no use. I can mount it using a full mount command, namely mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom, and ls works. However just entering mount /cdrom gives the error message mount: Too many levels of symbolic links.
If I type apt-cdrom add, I get the usual message: Using CD-ROM mount point /cdrom/; Unmounting CD-ROM; Please insert a Disc in the drive and press enter. Nearly always I get the message Mounting CD-ROM; E: Failed to read the cdrom. (It has worked properly just twice). fstab looks OK. I suspect the CD-ROM drive is faulty. Any suggestions?
