DVD rom.... meh


I just plugged in my dvd rom and booted up. I put a DVD in, and ran xine. The clicked on DVD. and it said...
----------
The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g. no disk in drive). (dev/dvd).
----------

here is what my fstab looks like:
Code:
/dev/hda5        swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/hda2        /                reiserfs    defaults         1   1
/dev/hda1        /winblows        ntfs        ro               1   0
/dev/dvd         /mnt/dvd         iso9660     noauto,user,ro   0   0
/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,owner     0   0
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0
Any ideas?

Try using a device name such as /dev/hdc instead of /dev/dvd.
