I'm using Debian Wheezy 7.1 and i'm trying to mount my external(usb) DVD. So, the first thing i did was put a DVD with data and media inside the drive, and plug him in my usb port, and here my output from terminal:
Quote:
root@robgeek:/home/rob# mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0
mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
root@robgeek:/home/rob# mount -o ro /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0
mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
Here my /etc/fstab

# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
How can i solve this problem? I would like to read and write with this drive. Before and after i try this mounting, /media/cdrom0 is empty, but i'm sure my dvd is not empty.
1. Do a dmesg and see where this dvd drive is actually ending up when it gets assigned to /dev tree.
2. Does your external DVD drive require additional power? I have one myself vhich requires a split usb cable; one plug for data, the other for power. It sounds like it's going to work if you just pluf one in, but it does not.
