    I've got a volume group over /dev/hdb and /dev/hd3, I'm reluctant to mess with that until I have to ... I'm just trying to get the cdrom working again in isolation first - hopefully the process of doing that will show how to have the new disk show as well ..

    Damn that could be an issue with adding the new drive .. but again I'd be happy with just seeing the cdrom by itself again ..

    It is a cdrw - but it worked with boot/kernel settings as is fine before I started to add the new disk .. no sure why it doesn't work no when I've put everything back in its old configuration ..

    cheers again,
    Andy.
