My 2 cdroms on 9.0 open & close ok. Light flashes for abt 5 sec. when disk is inserted - then nothing. Yast ses both devices as ok. Clicking on either icon gets error - no disk in drive. The cd recorder is an Opteron. What information can I offer to get help? TIA

Sounds silly but when was the last time you cleaned them? I use one of those cleaning CDs every three or four weeks. The ones with the series of little brushes on them to clean the laser lens. Got to be worth a try. Otherwise check the drive cables are properly seated. I doubt it is that as YAST sees them but again, it can't hurt to check. Hope this is of some help. -- Take care.
