Mounting/Unmounting Cd-Rom

[astro_9040]

Here lately i've been having some trouble with my cdrom drive mounting it gives me this message :
mount: can't find /mntcdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
and when i try to unmont it it gives me this message:
umount: /mnt/cdrom/: not mounted
Im using the mount and umount commands anyone have any suggestions for me to use?

How is your fstab setted up?

[astro_9040]

/dev/hda1 / ext3 noatime 1 1
/dev/hda3 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0, nls=iso8859-1, ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0

You need to have a line like the followin in order to mount a cdrom:

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,noauto,rw,exec,users 0 0


That is assuming that hdc is your cdrom and is plugged into the 2nd IDE channel and is set as Master.
