Could anyone point me to a resource that explains details of what this command is doing? I take it iso9660 is from the International Standards Organization, but why does this have to be done once the computer is running? XP seems to have no trouble detecting the drive no matter when I plug it in. Just looking for some more info on whats going on when I type the commands. Thanks so much! -Noah Someone asked what type of plug-in drive this is. I'm sure it's not USB port but I can't tell much more than that. All I know is it's the exteral drive that came with the computer when I purchased it. in an xterm do: man mount that will give you the manual to the mount command and explain what it does. Basically, unlike other OS's which always have the drive connected(mounted) with linux you have to mount the drive when you want to use it. Mandrake has tried implementing automatic mounting (supermount) when removable media is inserted into a drive, but it doesn't work with all equipment all the time. at least that's my understanding of it.

Just to clarify a few things : hda is the hard drive (the master on your first IDE-bus) and contains 8 partitions, some of them with windows on them - right ? hdb is your CD-ROM (the slave on your first IDE-bus). Accordingly, add the following to the append : hdb=ide-scsi (just put space between the statements in the append-line). In your fstab-file this drive should be named /dev/scd0. Then I suppose, your second CD-drive (cdrom2) is the master on your second IDE-bus, right ? This drive should be named /dev/scd1 in the fstab-file, and in lilo.conf, just put the statement : hdc=ide-scsi after the other statements, separated with one or two spaces. If you are afraid of spoiling something, then start by copying your original files to e.g. fstab_old, and lilo.conf_old in your home directory before editing it. then you can reuse them if anything goes wrong.

Just an FYI for ya. When you get a sufficient amount of dust on the lens of a CDROM drive, it's usually means that the drive is toast. Cleaning can help for a short time, but Cd cleaners usually contibute more harm to the lens than help, by knocking it out of alignment. After a few cleanings, the drive usually won't read well or at all. So the rule of thumb is that when you have to use a CD cleaner the first time, start saving for a new drive, and buy it as soon as possible. When the old one finally becomes useless, it's a 5 minute job to replace it. Oh, one more thing. DON'T put your box on the floor. That's where dust accumulates first. Put it on a desk, filing cabinet or something else. The higher the better. That'll prevent dust accumulation in your tower case. Dan LaBine Thanks, both of you!

I've never tried this, but I might be tempted to try a good blast of air with the tray open.but only if it is disfunctional already. I have never actually had one die that way yet(dusty lense). Mine all seem to just not be recognised by the motherboard bios or the operating system...even if replacing the ribbon...then its time to get a new one, or at least that has been the only fix I've found so far.

Just an FYI for ya. When you get a sufficient amount of dust on the lens of a CDROM drive, it's usually means that the drive is toast. Cleaning can help for a short time, but Cd cleaners usually contibute more harm to the lens than help, by knocking it out of alignment. After a few cleanings, the drive usually won't read well or at all. So the rule of thumb is that when you have to use a CD cleaner the first time, start saving for a new drive, and buy it as soon as possible. When the old one finally becomes useless, it's a 5 minute job to replace it. Oh, one more thing. DON'T put your box on the floor. That's where dust accumulates first. Put it on a desk, filing cabinet or something else. The higher the better. That'll prevent dust accumulation in your tower case.

Someone on the SuSE list told me how to solve this: do ls -l cdrom (or whatever your mnt file is called). It very likely points to something else.

For example, I've found on my setup that if I have any terminal open, and am currently located in the /mnt/cdrom directory it won't open. Same sometimes with a KDE window open on my CD-ROM. When all else fails, I do open a term., and type in: eject /dev/cdrom and: eject -t /dev/cdrom will close the tray back. Hope this helps! BTW, I had more trouble with this in v7.0 than in 7.1, also its better when I installed as developer than not...dunno why. In fact I'd say its pretty well gone in v7.1 - developer...

Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
I don't know if this will help, but this is what I did.
In /etc/fstab, I moved the cdrom line above the floppy line. (just for grins)
And also, the device I used was not /dev/hdd it was /dev/scd0.
Once I did those two things everything started working.
I was reading the www.linux-mandrake.com tutorials page is
what gave me that idea to use the scd0. You might want to go
there and read where it talks about getting a cdwriter working
with mandrake. Apparently it tricks the cdwriter by using the
scsi device for it even though it's really IDE. During installation,
it weirdly sets it back to IDE and then it quits working - That's
why it quits working after you install linux-mandrake. The
tutorial helped me understand it some - check it out.
my fstab looks like (partial):
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
make sure /dev/cdrom links to /dev/scd0
cd /dev
ls -l cdrom
cdrom - scd0

Subject:[newbie] CD Rom not accessible
I'm having trouble accessing my CDRom for Music and data.
When I click on the CDRom Icon with a windows or linux
(mandrake install disk) cd, I can't see any data. When I get
into the kscd program, it can't find a disk. When I go to
lothar it finds my cd (model: CRW6206A, device:/dev/hdd
bustype: atapi/ide). When I go back to kscd and try to set
/dev/hdd in the cdrom device it still doesn't see it. When I go
to drakeconf and then click filesystems and local drive, I
can set the cdrom to /dev/hdd, but that doesn't help either.
I guess I'm a newbie. Please help.

Subject:RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Hi Alan i am having a similar problem mounting my cd rom, but in this case
i ve trying almost everything ( today i will try to switch the IDE cables
of my cd rom and cd-R to see what happens), and my fstab is exactly like
the one above
--/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom
i have changed it to a thousand different forms and nothing happens, it
sends the following error " unable to accses the specific directory" or the
other error is " inut/output error"... i am thinking that is a hardware
problem with my jumpers because the others device supermount perfectly.
and yes i disabled the supermount and try to make it manual and the same
error occurs.
please if you or something else can help me ...
J---imoh, I didn't realize that you're using supermount.
That line in your /etc/fstab file is not correct, it should be
like the one below:
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom
0 0
and of course the softlink /dev/cdrom should link to /dev/hdd

I did an "ls -l" in the /dev dir and it shows "cdrom - hdd"
I tried deleting that and doing "ln -s hdc cdrom" and "ln -s hdb cdrom"
etc for different devices. They all still go to the floppy when I get
into
kscd. I looked at the configuration for kscd and it shows "/mnt/cdrom".
I looked at fstab and it shows for the cd:
"/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount exec,dev,suid,rw,fs=iso9660 0 0"

The /dev/hdd doesn't work at all for any type of disk. I've tried
music cd,
linux-mandrake 7.0 install cd, and a dos cd, none work with /dev/hdd.
The /dev/cdrom mount I spoke of before accesses the floppy drive. I
just don't understand what's going on.

RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
that statment that CD-R are mounted diferently is not true, because before i made the upgrade to my PC, i was using mandrake 6.1 and have no problems mounting all file system ( linux see the CD-R like a regular CD-Rom at mounting time).. but now the problem is that it says that it is not a valid directory and cant no show files!! -Original Message- From: Joseph S.

RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Well, it depends on what all you have in your system. /dev/hdd is used for the secondary slave device you have installed. Is there any chance that it may be /dev/hdc or /dev/hdb ? Also, check to see if maybe it's already mounted somewhere (do a 'df' and see if you see /dev/hdx anywhere [with the exception of probably hda]) I'm also assuming this is an IDE cdrom... If not, you may try mounting /dev/scd0 or /dev/sg0 (scsi cdrom and scsi generic respectively). -=Ron=- -Original Message- From: Eduardo Arauz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 08, 2000 4:49 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible friend, im just experimenting the same problem with my mandrake 7.0 it doesnt mount any cd rom, cd writer besides i have another problems with my linux OS. since i changed my board, cpu and ram this past saturday now is a complete messed no even my win 98 could be installed! and my linux is having multiple problems... from modem using, mountig and sound! -Original Message- From: Jim Brown [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 05, 2000 3:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible Thanks for all of your help and quick responses!!!
