what does your /etc/fstab file say it is? i had that problem before and i rechecked my cdrom mount points in MCC and then rebooted and it changed from /dev/hdc to /dev/scd0 and i was able to read my cdrom
Sorry for my stupid question, but what is MCC? I think MDK wants to have the cd in the drive I have no access to. Here is my fstab. Many thanks for having a look at it.
