Hi Carlos,
Log in as root.
Make a link fron /dev/hdd to /dev/cdrom1:
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom1
This creates a new cdrom entry.
Stick a CD-ROM in the CDRW and then go to the /mnt directory and
mkdir cdrw
mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrw
with ls /mnt/cdrw you should be able now to read the contents on the
cd. If not, then there is another problem. Good luck!
Also look at http://mandrakeuser.org in the hardware section, there is a
lot of good info there.
