Thanks, James, but this is occurring with all CDs. I think, maybe, with the automount is not working, but I don't know. Issuing a umount & then mount doesn't fix it either.

This is equivalent to the windows "drive not ready" pop-up window. In either case the problem is the same. The hardware can't read the media. james PS. Your fstab is good. Seems that with supermount the first thing declared has to be a dev if you don't want supermount to handle it. If you do ... you put it in later, and start the line with none. Note that this is AFIAK and subject to error correction. > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
