CentOS 5.5 - external DVD drive does not show up
Installed CentOS 5.5 some time ago and I can proudly say I am more than satisfied with it. Managed to install codecs, flash player, media players, chrome and opera browsers and all other things I need. My only problem is that as of about a week ago my external DVD player is not recognized any more by CentOS so I am unable to watch movies. Need help what to do.
My external DVD player is Magnavox and it works great but CentOS does not recognize it any more.
I used to watch movies in CentOS in SMPlayer all the time.
What to do to get it back?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions - really appreciate your help.

When things that used to work suddenly don't, you have to ask the question "What has changed?". Without a lead to go on, the reasons are multitude, so trying to help at this point will only take time, and not likely lead to any resolution.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
