Looking at fstab, I see the following lines

Please do a ls -l /dev/cdr* and ls -l /dev/dvd, and post the results.
Sorry it took so long, but I was nowhere near my Linux machine during the day.

My dvd is the first CD style device on my system, the cd writer is second. I doubt that there should be two devices on sr0 (and I think they're both wrong, to boot). Please let me know if I'm looking at the right problems. Of course, even if I am, I have absolutely no idea of what to do about them. As always, all help is appreciated.

Well there could be two or three problems. I am assuming you have scsi emulation for your dvd and cdrecorder. If you've added hdc=ide-cd to grub then I'm wrong, but from what you said I'll assume you haven't. We can cover whether or not you should later. If your dvd is the first scsi emulated device, as root try # ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd # ln -sf.(device ... link) For the cdrecorder change it to # ln -sf /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrecorder. You can leave the cdrom and cdrom1 links alone. Just remember cdrom = sr1 or cdrw, cdrom1 = dvd. Hopefully you should now be able to mount a data cd in both drives. Also check if you can eject both drives from the cdrecorder icon and the dvd icon on your desktop.(It'll test your links) -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.1
