No, I meant clicking on the mounted CD icon gives the KIOerror :-) Yes, I'm able to do everything /mnt/cdrom . I have no idea what I (must) have altered, but it used to work just by clicking on the icon . -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Mandrake 10 Microsoft Free Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] CD problem FIXED!
Ok, so heres the basics. I have an HP 8100+ CD-RW drive and basically, every time I tried to access it, the desktop would crash (For around 15 minutes, and then come back) and basically the entire operating system was sluggish and sometimes programs failed to start. Today I bought a bog standard Samsung 52x CD-ROM drive for as cheap as dirt and not only does Mandrake run smoother and faster, I can actually access CD's! Im guessing Mandrake just didnt like the HP CD-RW drive, because right now everything's fine! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
