Cannot find DVD drive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm afraid this may be a very ignorant question,
but how do I access the DVD drive on my desktop?

It is shown by lshal:
--------------------------
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'
  block.storage_device
= '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'  (string)
  info.product = 'DVD-ROM DRD-841B'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B' 
(string)
--------------------------

And I see it referenced in /proc/sys/dev/cdrom ,
from which I guess I should find it at /dev/cdrom .
But when I try to mount it, I don't see the CD in it:
--------------------------
[root@alfred ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: No medium found
--------------------------

So is this the correct device?
How can I tell?
