There are really no properties (well...) for CD/DVD drives - only the discs
Post the content of fstab

Code: Select all

cat /etc/fstab
Oh - and you can't mount the drive - only the discs
Can it read DVD discs?

In your PM to me you say this is is
a new installation of felicia 6.0
I doubt if because of two things
/host/mint/disks/root.disk
this is not how it would be and
the presence of loop is a bit odd. You'd mount an ISO with the loop command but hardly in fstab.....
And please use this topic for your questions
Edit - my error - Husse
That's how it looks when you install with mint4win - just checked my own install, but I did not have a line for CD/DVD - I don't know enough about this obviously, but try to remove the line (save it somewhere!)
So I have to add - please tell us if you use mint4win....

Code: Select all

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/host/mint/disks/root.disk / ext3 loop,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/host/mint/disks/boot /boot none bind 0 0
/host/mint/disks/swap.disk none swap loop,sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
This is correct.
If you have a second cdrom/dvdrom drive just add.

Code: Select all

/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
