Hi,
I have partitioned my laptop(Dell Inspiron 6000) with Fedora core 3 and Windows XP. I am not able to unmount/eject it from the drive when Iam in LINUX. This problem doesn't exist in my WINDOWS. Each time I mount a CD in LINUX, I need to reboot it, got to windows and then eject it.
Can someone tell me what is the problem?
First unmount the /mnt/cdrom directory by
umount /mnt/cdrom and then try to eject the cd.
Before unmounting the /mnt/cdrom you have to be present
outside that directory.
Otherwise right click on the cdrom icon and click eject.
Hi,
Yes, I had tried all these options. There seems to be some basic problem. For some reason, when the cd is mounted, the default directory which opens it happens to be :
/media/cdrecorder,
where it actually has to be
/mnt/cdrom
in which case, all the options u ppl had suggested would work. I don't know why the cd is being opened in /media/
Any installation problem ?
