I think I have another question now. Okay the /media directory is not
showing anything. I have actually the Fedora 7 test cd which has
checked out okay on my Sony Windows system. I am using this as a
secondary slave.
What is the meaning of "secondary slave"?
But Gnome does not see it or nor does the dvd get
booted when the computer is restarted. I do see it in the Bios so that
tells me the cables are fine. Do you have any suggestions?
Become root and look in your /var/log/dmesg file and find the lines where
the drive is detected on boot. It will probably look something like:
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: SONY DVD RW DRU-830A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Then, just for a test, type...(note hda is an example since that it what
is
on my system)
mount /dev/hda /dev/mnt
What are the results?

Just as a note: Many people prefer postings as I have done here. The
comments questions are placed "inline". Many people feel it is easier to
follow a discussion and are irritated by "top posting" as it seems to get
confusing trying to follow it. In other words, the context of a
comment/response gets lost.
