On the face of it you must be correct. I have been reading to find a solution and opened a terminal and tried ls -l /dev/dvd. There was no response so I tried with /dev/dvd1 with the following result:- nor...@gruber:~$ ls -l /dev/dvd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-05-25 16:31 /dev/dvd1 -> scd0 nor...@gruber:~$ Is this any help to sorting things out. I use the terminal from time to time but I am never sure what things mean but I am learning.
