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. Also, the cd-rom, when clicked on, opens the cd-rw even though it points to the cd-rom. I need to create a scsi-ide link to be able to use the CD-rw. That's why I'm going thru this trouble. Below's my fstab: /dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda2 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 2 /dev/hdd1 /windows/E vfat noauto,user 0 2 /dev/sda4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda3 swap swap pri=42 0 0 Here's my lilo append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi" boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg prompt timeout = 80 message = /boot/message lba32 image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda4 append = "enableapic" image = /boot/vmlinuz.suseappend = "hdc=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi" boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg prompt timeout = 80 message = /boot/message lba32 image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda4 append = "enableapic" image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse label = failsafe root = /dev/hda4 append = "disableapic ide=nodma apm=off" optional image = /boot/memtest.bin label = memtest86 other = /dev/hda1 label = windowsappend = "hdc=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi" boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg prompt timeout = 80 message = /boot/message lba32 image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda4 append = "enableapic" image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse label = failsafe root = /dev/hda4 append = "disableapic ide=nodma apm=off" optional image = /boot/memtest.bin label = memtest86 other = /dev/hda1 label = windows label = failsafe root = /dev/hda4 append = "disableapic ide=nodma apm=off" optional image = /boot/memtest.bin label = memtest86 other = /dev/hda1 label = windows Let me know if I need provide anything else. A step-by-step would be nice. Thanks, Tom
