    DVD/CD Drive Problems

    Help please....I am new to linux and so far everything has been great except that I cannot seem to get my dvd/cd drive to work properly. If I insert a CD, nothing will mount on the desktop and music cd's give me the following error "CD ROM read/access error, make sure you have permissions to access /dev/hdc/"
    Any ideas on what to do to correct this?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
    Paul

    You may not have permissions for your cd/dvd device. Could you post the contents of your /etc/fstab file please?

    like bryansmith said, can you post the contents of the /etc/fstab file here.
    Life is complex, it has a real part and an imaginary part.

    That is just the entry for your swap partition. Could you please post the whole thing?
