there is a fix located at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Tutorial/CDburner/pages/ but right now the link is broken....I am having the same problem and have been for a month Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roland Hightower" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2000 11:48 AM Subject: [newbie] cd writer quit working after re-install After my first install and subsequent re-installs of mandrake 7.0 my cd writer was able to read data cd's like the dvd drive. Now all of a sudden after a re-install it deosn't work. I just get an error msg saying "could not list directory contents file:/mnt/cdrom2". I see the device /dev/hdd listed during boot and if I go to control panel - scsi, it shows the scsi host channel and lists my cd writer. If I bring up xcdroast it is listed in setup as my read and write drive. ( Ihaven't tried to burn a cd however) It is also listed in ftab and mstab. But it WON'T READ THE CD'S I PUT IN IT! What kind of a deal is this. Oh, I checked, the drive still works under win98se. Roland
