    Code:
     /dev/hda1       /fat-c     ntfs        ro 0   0
    /dev/hda5       /fat-d    vfat        defaults,umask=0 0   0
    Install ntfs-3g package to enable NTFS write access.
    Which Linux Distro do you have? Why did you put # sign before /dev/cdrom line?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Yeah, the fstab file in Slackware comes with a sample cdrom entry that is commented out by default.

    First of all remove # sign before CDROM line and check if it works,
    Execute this
    Code:
    hdparm -I /dev/dvd
    hdparm -I /dev/cdrom
    Post output here.
