When i click on CD-rom on the desktop, it says /mnt/cd-rom not found. when i look in the directory, i see a locked file CD-rom and it says "this file doesn't seem to exist anymore". How do i view and run the contents of my cd drive?

Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Default Posts: 27	first three i recieved "not a valid block device" last one i recieved Code: mount /dev/hda /mnt/cd mount: /dev/hda already mounted or /mnt/cd busy note that lately i've had incident(after i posted the first post) where i think the BIOS thinks my cdrom drive is the hard drive since it doesnt recognize a master drive and i put the cdrom drive in my boot sequence and then it loaded my OS successfully but didnt load my live CD. P.S. my partitions are hda's

But I do take that you are trying this all with a cd in the cd rom drive? /dev/hda is your hard drive that is why it ios already mounted, so now we no not to look at that dylunio __________________ Registered Linux User #371543!
