Mounting DVD ROM
 

Dear friends,

I am new to world of Linux. i have recently installed Redhat linux 9 on my PC. i have a DVD Rom installed on my system, the

system is mounting it as a CD ROM. Now if I want to Browse a DATA CD the System is not reading the dics and stating that no

disc found.

Please help me out...... Tell me how to mount a DVD ROM so that I can use my DVDs. Its a Toshiba DVD ROM.

Regards,

Neosap.

you don't need to mount DVDs, you just fire up a media player such as mplayer and hit the play button

I have a Toshiba DVD-ROM. This is what I do:

$ su
(enter password)
$ mount /mnt/cdrom
$ cd /mnt/cdrom
$ ls

The ls command should give you a directory listing.

Hope this helps.

You should check your /etc/fstab file.
There should be a line like
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user, ro.
If not add/modify such line.
You could have a different configuration according to your hardware system.
I mean that /dev/cdrom could be different like /dev/hdc or /dev/scd0 if you have the ide-scsi module enabled at boot.
If you could post your /etc/fstab file and your drives configuration, me or someone else could help you more in details
Preliminarely you should also try
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
if the links you reported are correct this should work.
Ciao
