I should mention that I am running Xfce 4.2, not GNOME, though I tried this all in GNOME as well with similar outcomes. Also, I found that if I change the entry in /etc/fstab for /dev/hda to: /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder auto noauto,user,ro 0 0 I can in fact mount the same CD and DVD data discs just fine. In fact, I can use the Nautilus CD burning feature, which I could not use before (even though I use Rox as my primary FM). Also, k3b can now also display the contents of the data CD/DVD where it could not before. It would only indicate that there was pre-existing stuff on the disc and prompt to confirm erasure before burning. So there is something going on with the original settings it would seem. I seem to have a work around for the moment, but any other ideas would be welcome. Thanks, Marc
