FC4 shows dvd-rw as cd-rom and cd-rom as cd-rw

hi,

I am using Fedora Core 4. I have dvd-rw and cd-rom. But FC4 shows dvd-rw as cd-rom and cd-rom as cd-rw. In hardware browser, both are detected properly, dvd drive as 'hdc' and cd drive as 'hdd'. So I changed cd-rw to 'hdc' (which is my dvd drive) and cd-rom to 'hdd' (which is my cd drive) in /etc/fstab. But when I reboot the system /etc/fstab shows 'hdc' as cd-rom and 'hdd' as cd-rw.
Can somebody tell me what the problem is?

Thanks,
Himanshu

You could edit your fstab to show the correct names. You would also have to change the name of the folders under /mnt. There's also a good chance you have links in /dev that point to the actual devices. For example /dev/cdrom=>/dev/hdd. Just a couple things to came to mind. I just woke up, so I may be rambling...
