cd/dvd read write drive
 
I have a combo drive installed and it was perfectly OK with my fedora 9.

All of a sudden the drive displays the message "Unable to mount location - No media in the derive"even after loading a cd / dvd disk.

Any suggestions ?

Have you tried entering something like the following into a terminal (after inserting a medium): ?
Code:
su
    (enter your 'root' password)
mkdir /mnt/test
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/test
ls /mnt/test
umount /mnt/test
rmdir /mnt/test
(this code just uses the 'mount' command line to see if you can use CDs/DVDs at all with the software you have now)

You cannot mount blank disks there is no file system to mount.
