Any help or hey everybody lets point and laugh at the kid withhis pants down would be greatly aprreciated thanks a billion -boardrider Welcome to Mandrake, I don't think you have a driver problem. The rom drive must be recognised in bios. What is your IDE cable setup ? Do you have two IDE cables, are Hardrives on one roms on the other ? Do you have just the one IDE cable ? I would suggest that you examine your replacement cdrom dive and make sure that you have them configured master and slave as appropiate, you cannot have two drives on the same cable both set up master or both set up slave. The bios will not like it. So first off you have got to sort out bios recognition of your rom and hard drives. my cd rom is not detected in the bios must be addressed first.

[newbie] cdrom problem in 8.1
I just installed 8.1 and popped in a back-up cd that I had made before the install. I clicked on the cdrom icon and the file manager opened but there was a message that said unsupported action: list/directory or something like that, and files were not visible. Also, when I closed the file manager and clicked on the icon again, it said it was already mounted or busy. Remembering a similar problem in 8.0, I disabled supermount with supermount -i disable as root and deleted the icon and made another one. Same two problems still exist. Any help appreciated.

[newbie] CDROM problem in GNOME, OK in KDE and console
Hi, I've been trying to work out a CDROM issue I have in Mandrake 8.1 but I'm stuck :( CDROM or DVDROM or CDRW all work fine at the console and in KDE...but When I launch GNOME I can mount the drive and view all the files on the CD, however when I try to copy any file from the CD to the Hard drive it shows a blank file with 0 bytes (but gives the file name). I'm logged in as Root and have full permission to the desktop or other directories I've tried to copy files to. I'm currently using a Compaq DVD-ROM DVD-114 (well tested in Win98 2k and XP, and works fine at console and KDE) Things I have checked and tried; dmseg reports the correct drive model Also reports - hdc: ATAPI DVD ROM drive, 512kb Cache, UDMA (33) lilo.conf - append= devfs=mount quiet fstab - /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro Default was - /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user, iocharset=iso8859-1, umask, sync, exec, codepage=850, noauto 0 0 cat /proc/devices - Block devices 1 ramdisk 2 fd 3 ide0 9 md 22 ide1 cat /proc/filesystems - does not list iso9660 from boot. If I mount the drive iso9660 is then listed. I've not added or removed any programs or services from the standard install. My guess is that there must be some sort of config file for GNOME stopping it working, but I haven't a clue what or were.

Re: [newbie] CDROM problem in GNOME, OK in KDE and console
Sorry forgot to mention the type of CD's Tried several CD's including CD-R and CD-RW formatted to ISO 9960 with Joliet (using Nero). Tried original CD's from various sources. Even tested the Mandrake ISO images I burnt for Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2. I know Linux use to have a problem with Joliet but this was sorted quite a few Kernels back + it wouldn't work in KDE if that was the problem. And I haven't used any of the CD's in packet format, so I'm stumped.

Re: [newbie] CDROM problem
just edit the hidden file ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc (The ~ means it is in your home directory) Where it says CDDevice=/dev/cdrom change that to /dev/hdc It should be OK then The CD-RW comes up as SCSI because Linux CD burning apps can ONLY use SCI devices, so your kernel emulates SCSI on your IDE drive.
