Installed the LM 18.3 version today from a flash drive and for whatever reason the OS does not see my CDROM/DVD drive.
The hardware is there:
I created the folder cdrom in /media/dave using super-user and then tried to mount it:dave@linux-mint ~ $ sudo lshw -C disk
*-cdrom

Mind you this is a dual boot with windows. Windows sees and accesses the cd/dvd drive just fine. So I'm at an impasse at this moment.dave@linux-mint ~ $ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/dave/cdrom
mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
Just to strange!
Hope you can help! And as always am very grateful for the help that is given!
Dave
