This is most likely because you are trying to access the device as a normal user. But as you can see, you don't have any access to the device as a normal user. You have two options, as root do: chmod o+rw /dev/hdd Which will give everyone read/write access to /dev/hdd, or alternatively you can add all users that are to have access to the cdrom as members of the group 'disk'. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
