CD mounting issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
Actually, I have two issues, the first one being that I have not heard from this
list in two weeks.  I have several e-mail accounts and all of them have been 
getting filled with this ridiculous Windope worm that is going around, but I have
not received a single message from this and two other lists to which I subscribe at
Red Hat (OS Now and K12ltsp).  So I am hoping for some confirmation of receipt of
this message and, perhaps, an explanation of why I haven't heard from anyone.
Ok, that was simple enough.
Now to the main matter at hand:
I was having some issues with printing (which I finally narrowed down to a USB 
issue and solved), but in my quest to solve them I did a fresh install
(congratualtions to me, I finally wiped off my windope partition and reclaimed my
entire hard drive in the process...YEAH!).  Now, I am having some issues with
ounting my two CD drives (one is a burner).
When I mount a CD in the drives, I often cannot remove the media, even upon
unmounting it (drive won't open).   Furthermore, if I do remove the media in question successfully (which only happens with the burner on occassion), when I
insert new media, the computer won't recognize it, and, in fact, acts as if the
previous media were still present.  It used to be that left-clicking on the CDrom
icons on my desktop would give me a menu that included "eject" as an option, that
would work successfully to unmount media and leave the drive ready to accept new 
media, but this option no longer exists.
I am afraid that I don't even know where to begin in diagnosing the problem, not
understanding the process of mounting media with any depth (I have only been using
Linux for about a year and a half, now).
I would appreciate any assistance offerd with this issue, including instructions
regarding what further information might be useful in it's diagnosis.

Thanks in advance.
