You need to mount the drive first.

To mount a CD-ROM, at the command line, type:

Code:

mount /dev/cdrom

The cdrom will be mounted in /mnt/cdrom

Don't forget to unmount, type:

Code:

umount /dev/cdrom

For the floppy, change cdrom to fd0

[root@localhost /]# mount /dev/cdrom
mount: can't find /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

show output of :
cat /etc/fstab
and...
su -c "cat /var/log/dmesg | grep hd[a-d]"
you'll be prompted to type root password after issuing the command...

hmm i should write:

mount /dev/hdc

:] now worked....

thanks

Can you post the contents of the /etc/fstab file.
and the output of the following command:

Code:

ls -l /dev/cdrom*

Edit:
You fixed it... very good.
