Hi,
Before tossing the drive, you might make a DOS boot disk, load the DOS driver on it, boot up to DOS and get a second opinion, so to speak. If it works in one OS but not another, you've safely ruled out failing hardware as the cause.
Thanks for that. It seams to work under DOS, which complicates matters a bit now :-( I booted back into Linux, but know get "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc or too many mounted filesystems" for the first couple of attempts, before going back to "No Medium Found". I have an identical CDROM drive in another machine that I know works, so I think I shall swap them over at the weekend, and see what happens. Cheers Phil
