Hi Looks I am getting closer. dmesg complains a lot about the DVD drive. I have attached the output from dmesg at the bottom.
I can play Audio CDs and can also rip through grip in this drive. Also I can play DVDs in this drive from windows. any ideas greatly appreciated. -Pradeep >MSDOS FS: IO charset iso8859-15 hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 0 FAT: unable to read boot sector FAT: freeing iocharset=iso8859-15 EXT2-fs: Unrecognized mount option umask UDF-fs DEBUG lowlevel.c:57:udf_get_last_session: XA disk: no, vol_desc_start=32 UDF-fs DEBUG super.c:1426:udf_read_super: Multi-session=0 UDF-fs DEBUG super.c:415:udf_vrs: Starting at sector 16 (2048 byte sectors) hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 64 UDF-fs DEBUG super.c:1162:udf_check_valid: Failed to read byte 32768.
