When you'd written this, it HIT me.... like a 2x4 right between the ears.
:)

You'd asked "Do you have more CD/DVD units ?" Well, yes I do. I never had to be concerned about
setting DVD players. Seemed they all turned out right just the way I put them in. I did have
another one in there. I pulled out both (when I was checking for the make/model) and as I was
looking them over, I realized they both had jumpers on them. I tried them different ways and none
worked until I set the burner as master and the other one as slave....

The CD reader didn't like being master and the burner as slave.... but indeed they are both now
being read and working.... well, I haven't checked the burner yet, but the reader in it works.

Good ;-)

You folks never cease to amaze me.... if you don't have an answer, you prod until I figure it
out, and that's good.

That is a good way to work ;) . You can also use different LiveCd and try the hardware in more than one, to see if the problem is related with the distro or with the hardware.

Thanks for everything so far.... I hope you all don't tire of my problems.... I am a novice to
the extreme at Linux.

Don´t worry. I am a person that is *proud* to be a novice and a GUI-lover. The easier, the best (and the worse for M$).

Now if I can get the Zip Drive working.

I don´t use it. Why don´t you use a USB keydrive?.

Regards.

Pedro.
