Okay, well mounting this drive should be simple enough. As root type:

mount /dev/disk/by-id/usb-USB2.0_External_Mass_Storage_Device_DEF110D90577 /mnt

Your drive should then be available in the /mnt directory

I try with this command..its saying no medium found..

[root@master /]# mount /dev/disk/by-id/usb-USB2.0_External_Mass_Storage_Device_DEF110D90577 /mnt
mount: No medium found

************************************
Evan i try
mount -t iso9660 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-USB2.0_External_Mass_Storage_Device_DEF110D90577 /mnt/dvd/
mount: No medium found


But same result.....No medium found

What type of disk is it? For exampe DVD, music CD, data CD...

[gomzy000]

its dvd... in which Matlab setup is there for linux.....

Well this has got me stumped...

From looking on Google a few people have had the same problem but nothing seems to be solved. I have read that music CDs can't be mounted as they don’t have a file system and media players read the raw data needed straight from the disk. Have you tried playing the DVD in your media player without mounting it first?
