You can get that message sometimes, but CDs and DVDs should auotmount.
Can you see the DVD-player in Nautilus (the file browser)?
You should have a line in your fstab (/etc/fstab) like this:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
for each CD- or DVD-player
I checked and yes, it does it appear in Nautilus. And run that command I see two drives but they are numbered 0 & 1 (starts with 0 instead of 1)
I did not copy the number 0 line
Now this is something I (hopefully) understand.
For some reason the player is not able to read your DVD
either the DVD or your player is probably broken, that is if you have a line in fstab like described, and no oddities in your system.
Can you test the disc elsewhere?

well, the disk works in my winxp laptop. i'm going to assume that there is something wrong with it for now then.it is a data dvd with recorded tv shows i wanted to view (along with a couple others that are problematic), on my desktop, but this particular disk seems a no go.Husse wrote:I did not copy the number 0 line

*sigh*
How was it created? If it was created via some non-standard Microsoft-proprietary bullsh** CD-writing software then it is obvious that it will not work anywhere but on Microsoft platformsbarkhat wrote:but this particular disk seems a no go.
Stick to accepted international standards such as ISO9660 for creating DVD's and CD's and you have no such problems.
hmmm...well, it might have been created with a software called roxio. i'm not sure just now.scorp123 wrote:How was it created?
