dear rishi, the problem is not in detecting it as hdc. it is first detected as hdc, then ide-scsi mode is emulated. it also seams that your /dev/cdrom and /etc/fstab are perfectly nice. then only two possibilities are left. i experienced the first one once. after trying to read from a defective cd the scsi bus hanged. after that i could not unmount and remount CDs and not only CDs but also the ide harddisk partitions. that thing continued even after a hard reboot. i am clueless about it. i had install everything afresh. even reinstalling /dev entries didn't work. (**CAN ANYONE PROVIDE ANY HELP - I WILL REMAIN GRATEFUL TO HIM/HER****) so if that happened to you, please check. or the second, it is a hardware specific issue of samsung cdrw/dvd-combo. [ i have not seen a single one to perform correctly ;) ] and again to group members: CAN ANYONE HELP?
