Hi everyone!!!!

when i insert a cd in my laptop it stops showing cd/dvd drive but unlike this when i insert a dvd it works fine so could anyone guide me how to fix this problem........

my operating system is rhel 5.....

Hi, welcome to LQ!


Data or Audio-CD? And what do you mean by "stops showing cd/dvd drive"?



Cheers,
Tink

hi !!

both data and audio cd ...........
and the problem is :cd is not imported i.e. when i open "my computer" ,'cd dvd drive' is not shown......

THANKS!!

AND WHEN I TRY TO MOUNT CD BY THIS COMMAND WHAT HAPPENS IS :

[root@unknown001a4b568946 ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /media
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@unknown001a4b568946 ~]#
[root@unknown001a4b568946 ~]# #
[root@unknown001a4b568946 ~]#
[root@unknown001a4b568946 ~]#

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Where is your CDROM listed in this FSTAB file?? Its not... add it in there.
