Can't mount dvd or cdrw drive
Hey, I can't find my dvd drive or cdrw drive.
From what I have read so far it should be dev/hdc or dev/hdd or something like that. I got my cd rom to mount it was dev/cdrom.... and I changed its permission so all users can mount it and stuff, I wanted to watch a dvd but I can't get the drive to mount. I did install xine. Any ideas? |
How many hard drives do you have in your computer?
(The proper path would be /dev/hd<?>) |
I have four... One CD drive, one cd writer, one dvd drive and one hdd.... the cd drive and hdd I found... I can't find the cd writer or dvd drive which are connected to the same ide spot

Have you tried /dev/hde or /dev/hdf?
|
as root I did this
bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hde mount: can't find /dev/hde in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdf mount: can't find /dev/hdf in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdc mount: can't find /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab bash-2.05b# mount /dev/cdrom mount: No medium found bash-2.05b# |
you need to specify a mount point.
mkdir /mnt/DVD mkdir /mnt/CDRW mount /dev/hde /mnt/DVD mount /dev/hdf /mnt/CDRW |
okay I did this as root
bash-2.05b# mkdir /mnt/dvd mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/dvd': File exists bash-2.05b# mkdir /mnt/cdrw bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hde /mnt/dvd mount: special device /dev/hde does not exist bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdf /mnt/cdrw mount: special device /dev/hdf does not exist bash-2.05b# |
try
mount /dev/hdc /mnt/DVD mount /dev/hdd /mnt/CDRW |
it says the mount point doesn't exist
bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/DVD mount: mount point /mnt/DVD does not exist bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdd /mnt/CDRW mount: mount point /mnt/CDRW does not exis |
/mnt/DVD isn't the same as /mnt/dvd.
;) |
? I know cause linux is case sensitve, but when I made the directories I made them lower case. However, the dvd still doesn't mount....
|
By your earlier post you were attempting to mount as such:
bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/DVD bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdd /mnt/CDRW since you created the mount points lowercase, try: mount /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrw |
Okay I did this
bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd mount: No medium found bash-2.05b# mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrw mount: special device /dev/hdd does not exist it said no medium found, but there was a dvd in there... however I put a cd into my plain cd drive and it found that, which I should have know cause my regular cd-drive works and that is /dev/hdc |
it looks like your missing drive would be /dev/hdb
|
so by saying special device that means it found the device? cause I still can't see anything on the dvd or get it to play in xine
