Re: Can't read any DVD, and can't mount the dvd drive

Sorry for the top posting, I tried to change the /etc/fstab files to
/dev/scd0...and dev/scd1...and it is still not working
The files seems to be here
james@james-desktop:~$ ls -l /media
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-12-15 19:09 cdrom -> cdrom0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-15 19:09 cdrom0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-15 19:09 cdrom1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2007-12-15 19:09 floppy -> floppy0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-15 19:09 floppy0
james@james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0
mount: No medium found
james@james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc0 /media/cdrom0
mount: special device /dev/sdc0 does not exist
Another very simple question, how do I stop top posting?


I guess I will have some work tomorrow and will change the dvd drives to see
if the drive is broken.
Thank you
Meg

Maybe its better to switch this not-working DVD drive to the working
computer and try DVD and CD to see what happens. So in this case, you could
know if the problem is coming from the drive or the operating system.

goodluck.

No I didn't created anything, they were here. Apparently my dvd drive
stopped recognizing the dvd a few days ago. I guess after one update but I
have no idea which one. The computer still recognize the cd in the other
drive and my second computer doesn't have the problem with the dvds. On this
computer, when I insert a dvd I see a green light and nothing happens.
Thanks

Did you create these two entries in your fstab manually?
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0

you have to make user the device file is available on your system
under /dev directory.

It seems the computer doesn't find the medium

james@james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0
mount: No medium found
james@james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: No medium found
james@james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom0 /mnt
mount: special device /dev/cdrom0 does not exist
james@james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt
mount: No medium found
james@james-desktop:~$

I am sure that I have a DVD into the drive now and if I remember
correctly it is the cdrom0 but I tried the 3 to be sure. I guess no medium
found means that it doesn't see the dvd. Why? and what to do to fix it?
Thank you

then just try this :

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
or
mount /dev/dvdrom /mnt

do not user /media/cdrom0 or /media/cdrom1, they are occupied by
hard disk.

These are the /etc/fstab files.

I tried sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/cdrom

fd0 is the floppy.

as well as cdrom0 and cdrom1 and
nothing is working.

What does your /etc/fstab show for the dvd?

mount: mount point media/cdrom1 does not exist is the only
terminal answer I
got. Do you know what I could do to be able to read my dvds?
Thank you
Meg
