I'm having a problem with my DVD and CD-RW drive. I can burn a cd. The cd burning program appears to use /dev/sr0 (which doesn't exist) cdrecord -scanbus shows both: scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SAMSUNG ' 'CD-R/RW SW-248F ' 'R602' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'SAMSUNG ' 'DVD-ROM SD-612 ' 'BT02' Removable CD-ROM The problem is, I can't mount cdroms on either drive. I've attempted to use hdc and hdc (which is what they're supposed to be). sr, sda, etc don't exist. 'mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom' returns: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) dmesg shows hdc: attached ide-scsi driver. hdd: attached ide-scsi driver. I suspect I simply don't know what the device name is to mount it. Any ideas?

There are couple of things that you may want to check. In /etc check your fstab file to make sure that you have your dvd and cdrw setup. If you are using ide-scsi, then the devices would like scd0 and scd1. 0 being the first cd and 1 being the secound cd. Also, most distros are setup to use cdrom and cdrom2 as the device for mount. Look in /dev for these devices. They are nothing more than simlinks to the actual device. Also, if you see in your fstab your cdrom devices, you could just issue the following commands mount /mnt/cdrom would mount the first cdrom device and mount /mnt/cdrom2 would mount the secound cdrom device. One thing to remember, you cannot mount a music cd (Not sure what CD you were trying to mount). I hope this helps!
