Can't read DVDs Data From LG GDR-8163B Model in Fedora core 2

[gobindaghosh]

Hi all,
I can't see anything from dvd rom drive when a data DVD is inserted, but I can read the same DVD Rom's data From Windows Xp well in my same machine with duel booting. I have LG GDR-8163B Model. What I saw some curved page icons when clicked they were being disappeared one by one with every click. Will Anyone help me exactly providing the solution please.

Try these commands as root

mkdir /mnt/dvd # if not already present
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd # I'm assuming your dvd drive is on your second ary IDE controller as master
cd /mnt/dvd
ls

You should see the files on your dvd. (but only as root user)
To see them as a normal user, add this line to fstab (or modify the existing one) {do this as root}

/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd iso9660 defaults,users,exec,ro 0 0
and run this command as a normal user:
mount /dev/hdc

before you can take your dvd out, you must unmount your dvd drive
umount /dev/hdc

What will be the command if my dvd drive is on my secondary IDE controller as Slave? I am new to linux, so I am asking you. Please help.

THat would be

mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdd /mnt/dvd

Primary master = /dev/hda
Primary Slave = /dev/hdb
Secondary master = /dev/hdc
Secondary Slave = /dev/hdd

I hope this helps
