First of, I want to apologize for cross posting. I am a newbie, and this is really frustrating!
I have one DVD-R/CD-RW combo drive and on CD-Rom.
I am having trouble mounting any of them!

This is what my fstab file looks like:

/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/cd-rw /mnt/cd-rw iso9660 noauto,user,rw 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0


$ dmesg | grep sd

Any help would be wonderful.

Yes, you may be a newbie, but you seem to know that you have cross posted and should then know that posting the same question 5 times will not get you problem solved any quicker... It only confuses us who try to solve your issues and takes up un-needed recources...

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
