Message: [QUOTE="no.top.post, post: 14059481"] Ich kan auch Deutch lesen For years I avoided CDs, while I was waiting for the fad to pass. Now my 3 PCs try to use an IDE CDrom and a usb-CD/DVD r/w, which I can also unplug from its usb-interface to use as the [original guts] IDE-device. Often I need to re-try mounting before I succeed. With 3 PCs and multiple versions of Linux and 2 CD-roms, moving between PCs it's already confusing, without the apparent random failure to mount. Here's the latest trace:- # mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom == mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: No medium found ------------- A good readable CD was present. This PC/CDrom combination worked last week. Now it 'retracts the tray' for: `mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom`, which shows 'something'. But even for the previous CD which it was reading last week, it won't mount. And the other strange fact is that both: eject /mnt/cdrom and eject /dev/hdd work, so that somehow '/dev/hdd' IS associated with '/mnt/cdrom' ?!? ==TIA. [/QUOTE]
