I had my CD-rom and CD-rw working fine. I think a program I installed messed them up. Now, when I try to "mount" them, it says "mount: /dev/cdrecorder : unknown device" Same with the CD-rom But if I click on the desktop link it will open it up and I can see the files on the CD. ---8><--- snip ---8><---
Let me know if I need provide anything else. A step-by-step would be nice.
Thanks, Tom
Can you give us the output of `ls -l /dev/cdrom` and `ls -l /dev/cdrecorder`? Off the top of my head, it sounds as if your links are messed up. (Those devices should just be links to the real devices, such as /dev/hdc.) Also, your dmesg would help in figuring out where the cdrom and cdrecorder links should point to. Cheers, James
