DVD/CD-RW combo drive problem: cannot use DVDs


Posts: 1

Hi everyone,

I downloaded and installed MEPIS 6.5 a week ago and have been having problem viewing DVDs. I'm running the OS on a Dell Latitude C610, and the drive is a Matshita UJDA330.

I have tried mounting both /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom1 with a DVD inside through Kwikdisk, and the error messages are, respectively:

/media/cdrom/ -- mount: /dev/cdrom is not a block device (maybe try "-o loop?)

/media/cdrom1/ -- mount: no media found

I have tried playing several DVDs in MPlayer, also to no avail.

Here's my fstab, and I really hope to watch movies on my Linux box. Please help!
