The CD drives appears in the earlier version as /mnt/cdrom The BIOS doesn't mention it; it is detected on boot and reported. There are two integrated IDE controllers, the HDs on the first, the CDROM drive on the second. Have two 3.5 in floppy drives, desktop shows CD-ROM 0 and Floppy 0. Wonder what happened to the second floppy. I'll put in a diskette and see If I open a terminal window and enter "mdir A:" I get the directory of the floppy in the Floppy 0 drive. If I put the diskette in the second drive and type "mdir B:" it shows the contents of the floppy. I enabled it in the BIOS, but it doesn't show on boot or in /mnt The other day I put a data CD in the cdrom drive and had no trouble displaying contents. BIOS sees both HD, but the second isn't formatted and I don't expect to find a mount point. How do I run Disk Druid from Red Hat? This is a Shuttle motherboard, not the latest and greatest, but it is many years younger than the case.
