Unhappy Mounting CDRW external device on RH 8.0


Hi,

Could someone step me through mounting an exteranl USB CDRW drive on my laptop running RH 8.0? I am trying to mount the drive on top of an internal DVD CDROM.

My system seemed to recognize both the internal and external devices after I rebooted my laptop with the external USB device plugged in. When I type "cdrecord -scanbus", I got the following:

When I typed "cat /proc/scsi/scsi", I got the following:

The following info is found concerning "USB" in dmesg:

Lastly, the following is the content of my /etc/fstab after rebooting with the CDRW attached:

none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0


When I tried to mount /mnt/cdrom1, the system complains with the following:

mount: No medium found

Being a newbie, I have no idea how to use all these information to figure out how to mount the external device. Can anyone help? And which device file should be used? I haved tried scd0, and I got the same "No medium found" error. Finally, any recommendation for cd burner software for RH?

Thank you so much for your help.

The 'no medium found' error is the same error as in Windows when you try to browse a blank CD. It is basically advising there is nothing on the cd. If you put a cd in the drive that has something on it and then try mounting it you should find it works okay.
