Desktop rearranged - DVD no longer functions


Operating Pentium 3 and SuSELinux 9,0

Strange event.

I was away from my computer for an hour and when I returned the desktop was rearranged and there were also two icons for my floppy and two for my DVD-Rom where there had been only one each before. My music dvd icon had also disappeared.

One of the floppy icons did not work and so I deleted it since the other works fine.

However neither of the DVD-icons work and if I click on the DVD icon or try and mount the device (while having a CD in the drive) the following error message comes up:

"Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
/dvd/dev: Input/output error
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified."

The manual has no entry in the index for dev or dvd.

I tried re-installing the relevant dvd sections from YaST using my installation discs but to no avail.

Anyone know what to do?

Thanks

Dear All

Well I still have no idea why that happened.

But I typed in # kscd

and the cd panel opened up so I can play CDs again.

and kscd has left a little icon on the desktop for future use
