Re: [ubuntu-uk] Twin DVD drives not mounting

I have tried what some contributors have said. Just to answer some questions and issues raised. I am trying to get my system to recognise (mount) my twin DVD drives. My research had led me to believe that a cure would be to place entries in /etc/fstab but that has not worked. I am using 14.04
