From what I have read so far it should be dev/hdc or dev/hdd or something like that.
I got my cd rom to mount it was dev/cdrom.... and I changed its permission so all users can mount it and stuff, I wanted to watch a dvd but I can't get the drive to mount. I did install xine.
I have four... One CD drive, one cd writer, one dvd drive and one hdd.... the cd drive and hdd I found... I can't find the cd writer or dvd drive which are connected to the same ide spot

it said no medium found, but there was a dvd in there... however I put a cd into my plain cd drive and it found that, which I should have know cause my regular cd-drive works and that is /dev/hdc
