Re: [newbie] DVD doesn't work (Mandrake 9.1)

That's really really weird...
Try this:

* If /mnt/dvd doesn't exist, create it
* If /dev/dvd doesn't exist, make a link to that from whatever your
DVD/CDROM is to it.
(Example as from mine: ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd)

* Mount the DVD (mount /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd)
* Now try playing and tell us what you see...
  

I did this :

mkdir /mnt/dvd

/dev/dvd already exists.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# ls -l /dev/dvd
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           30 May 31 09:36 /dev/dvd -> ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd

when I try to mount, get error "No medium found" , (there is a dvd in the dvd drive), it shows reading the dvd drive.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# mount /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: No medium found
