Dunno what you're using to view that folder, but if you use the command line, you can see something like this: $ ll /dev/cd* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 14 14:03 /dev/cdrom -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 14 14:03 /dev/cdwriter -> hdc It indicates that the cdrom device is a link to the hdc device. Whilst some things can make use of your CD-ROM just as long as they can find it, somewhere. Other things will only treat it like one if the device name fits a certain pattern (e.g. has cdrom or dvdrom in it). -- (This PC runs FC4, my others FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
