Any help would be appreciated. > Best wishes for the holidays > John John, have you tried HardDrake (Mandrake Control Centre)? It should scan and pick up the hardware again. It's important to back out using the buttons, not the X. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet? Anne I don't have the gui,only command line. I had tried hardrake as you suggested last week. It recognized the cdrom but the files had changed. Harddrake listed: new devfs device: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd; old device file: /dev/scd0. The old device file was the default setup when I installed md9.1. I don't what caused the change. When trying to access I get the error message could not enter /mnt/cdrom. There were some changes to the fstab file. I was going to change the file where you suggested but didn't have time and now I don't know how to proceed from the command line. I am using a laptop xp system now to correspond(definitely not preferred) Thanks for the response. john
