help!!!
i am a newbie
how can i access to cdrom/floppy even i have login as root right but i can't set read, write...or something
i686, mandrake 9.0

weird, try (as user) creating a desktop icon (if you don't already have one) for your cd rom and using /mnt/cdrom or dev/cdrom (whichever works), try to use a simple data cd to start - something that you know it will be able to read
just double click the icon and see if it mounts

When you log on as a user you should see a desktop icon called removable media. When you click on it you should see to icons, one for the CDROM and one for the floppy.

With a disk inserted when you click on that icon you should see its contents.

Mandrake uses supermount by default so you do not have to use the mount / umount commands.

I actually already have the desktop icon but when I access this, a message pop up :"Sorry, I cannot to display all content of this CDROM"
I tried to view it by a browser, even I can change its default icon and Propety shows that root have full rights to this, However I still can not do
By the way, mine is LG DVDROM16X-48X

hmm... thats weird.... what cd are you trying to mount?? music cds??

If your trying to mount a media cd like a DVD or music cd, you won't be able to browse their contents by mounting.

trickykid is correct... you cannot mount Audio or DVD CDs...

that's why I said in the very first response to his post that he try something like a simple data cd.

yes, I just want to clear things out to avoid confusion..... since thanhvo31 hasn't replied yet.

Oh, this is Liniux CD

you would usually open a console and and type this when you have put your cd in:

mount /dev/cdrom
or
mount /mnt/cdrom

I have tried it, no results

here my etc\fstab:
code:
---
/dev/hda7 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdb,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=utf8,umask=0 0 0
