Hi every body,

I am new linux user with some solaris background.
Recently I installed mandrake linux 10 on my home pc.

The problem I am facing is as follows :-

Linux system did identify and read contents of installation CDs.
However if I insert other CD containing some PDF and doc files
then nothing is displayed. I tried to see contents at /mnt/cdrom.
Here files are not displayed.

However the files are displayed when machine is booted in Win 98.

I want to remove Win98 but this problem forces me to retain Win 98.

Can anybody please drop some light here ?

Try umount the drive with "umount -l /mnt/cdrom" and then put in the cd, this has happened with me before.
