make my device recognize DVDs

[KalPsi]

# mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom/
mount: No medium found

Did you have a cd in?

I'm having a similar problem. I wasn't getting an auto mount, so I checked /etc/fstab and found no cd or dvd drive. ls -l /dvd/cd* or dvd* shows everything is in hdc (I have a CD/DVD writer).

I edited /etc/fstab adding the following line:
/dev/hdc /media/dvdrom iso9660 ro,user 0 0

I then did a mkdir /media/dvdrom
still no luck. I tried doing a manual mount with the following command:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/dvdrom
I now get the error: mount: No medium found
I thought the disk might be bad, so I tried a cd and it mounted just fine. When I tried a different dvd I get the same error. All disks work on another machine.

Am I missing something to make my device recognize DVDs?

A silly question but are you refering to the correct entry in the /dev ?
cdrom for cd and dvd for DVDs
just check it in /dev
usually there is an entry for dvd and cdrom
and did u create a new dir cdrom in /media

just try

mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom/

just take care that u have dir cdrom in /media/
