CD/DVD drive mount problems

for some reason Arch refuses to see/mount my CD/DVD drive, I have a Sony PCG-F350 laptop (PII 366, 192 Ram, CD/DVD combo drive), I think I have the fstab configured properly, any suggestions?
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 / reiserfs defaults,noatime 0 0
And thanks in advance, you guys are always a great help!

Simply create /mnt/cd yourself...
sudo mkdir /mnt/cd (or use root console instead of sudo).
Also, replace the fstab lines
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0     /mnt/cd   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0     /mnt/dvd  udf       ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
with
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0     /mnt/cd   auto   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
or even, if you use udev and not devfs,
/dev/hdb    /mnt/cd   auto   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
or, if you use udev/dbus/hal at startup, delete the lines completely and let fstab-sync autocreate them (the new mount point will be under /media ).

    Since no one answered this thread in the Desktop Environments section, I'll post it here
    My DVD drive will spin up and act like it's reading it but, I don't see the CD/DVD folder drive mount or appear in PCManFM.  USB drives have no problems.

    There is no issue with the DVD in windows.
    I did manage to get it to mount after fiddling with it, but I would prefer that it did it all th time without issues.
    dmesg when it works:
    ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
    ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A

    I have similar problems - tested with different CD-RW and DVD-RW drives, different computers, and a whole load of different data CD-Rs written with different software, on different manufacturer's media! About half of the CD-Rs would never be recognized by my file managers. It's something systematic (probably HAL as pulsar68 suggested?), but can always be overcome by issuing a manual mount command.

  • Cd/dvd drive tenacious problem!

    Hi! I'm stuck.
    HP Pavilion dv6624ca laptop, with cd/dvd/lightscribe drive from TSST. Some months ago it stopped recognizing any media. It just clicks and gronks and never gets up to speed, eventually just stops with nothing recognized, pretending it's empty.
    I've tried it all:
    Windows Update (I have Vista Service Pack 2)
    uninstalled cd driver and reinstalled
    deleted upper and lower filters in registry
    checked Device Manager, everything seems to be working fine.
    Except it isn't.
    After all that, it recognizes music cd's but no others, data or dvd. In Safe Mode command prompt it doesn't recognize them, either.
    Sounds like a hardware thing, right? Here's the catch - my wife has the same computer, which developed exactly the same problem at roughly the same time. Like some update somewhere down the road did it. And when I connect an external cd/dvd drive, it acts the same way.
    Help!

    Hi,
    It would help if you identified your notebook with its complete product name or  product number.
    HP has produced and brought to market perhaps more than 10,000 models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years. It is difficult to help you if we don't know which one you own and which operating system is installed.
    Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key. You can also read the Service Tag (if present) attached to the bottom of your notebook\netbook.
    Method #2:
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a printed part number and a product name. Please post one or both of them (with all alphanumeric characters here). If you live outside of North America, it helps us if you post the country of purchase.
    Desktop PC
    Look at the rear or side of your desktop for a service tag for the complete product name and product number.
    Best regards,
    erico

  • Disc Drive Mounting Problem causing haywire issues...

    I've been having an issue that has gotten progressively worse and would appreciate the community's experience to figure it out...
    I repair the disk permissions regularly, keeps things backed up and updated...sourcing what the actual problem could help me figure out if it's a preferences issue or something more to the core of my OS that would require a clean install...so here's what I know.
    Originally a few smaller applications (such as firefox and a media server app) started to hang, eventually freezing the computer. Mounting and ejecting external drives started to hang as well. If I went to restart or shutdown, the process would hang until I pulled out the firewire cables of my external drives. That seems to be the real heart of it, as soon as I pull out the external drives it has no issue. Anyone heard of that or know which core file I would need to replace?

    By pulling the cable on your external disks while they are still being used you have probably corrupted them to the point where they are cause you problems. My starting point to fix your system would be to repair your disks including the system disk. I am not talking about repairing permission here. I am talking about repairing the directory structure for them. To do the system disk you need to boot from another disk. I suggest booting from the install DVD for you Mac. Let us know the results of that.

  • [Solved]IDE Drive mounting problem.

    Hey all, I've got an annoying problem with one of my IDE drives.
    Basically I just can't get it to mount, during boot up I get a few errors:
    end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0
    Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
    ata2: EH complete
    unable to read partition table
    Corrupt partition table, simple enough? I wish. I can mount the drive without error in both my Windows and Ubuntu 7.10 install. Which leads me to think it dislikes using the PATA driver or whatever the change was in later kernels.
    The really puzzling part is that I can wipe the drive and create a new partition with parted, then mount it manually and copy data to it. But as soon as I reboot I am back the start, getting I/O errors and can't mount.
    A couple of guys on IRC were saying to rmmod the pata drivers and modprobe the ide ones, but I have no experience with either of those functions. And from what I can see there is like 15 different IDE drives I could choose from, so have no idea what I should be doing.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Well as insane as this seems to me, removing the jumper on drive and making it cable select fixed it...

  • My DVD drive has problems.

    I've been browsing the forums and noticed that a lot of other people have the same problem I have with the new Intel iMac 20". Everything was working great for the first 2 days. On the evening of the second day, I watched a DVD movie. When I went to use the drive the next day, it won't recognize DVDs at all. Not even the ones it recognized the first two days. CDs seem to show up fine.
    I used Apple support chat where they had me create a new user to see if it had the problem as well. Their next suggestion was to shut it down, unplug it for 10 seconds, and start it up with the apple-option-p-r button process. Those didn't fix my problem so they told me to take it to a service center.
    Hopefully I'll get a drive that will last longer than two days this time.
    Intel iMac 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi Don, thanks for the reply. I read in another thread here that Apple support told another user not to run an optical cleaner in the drive. I can't remember the reason. There is an apple service center two minutes from my work, so I'm just going to take it in without trying to fix it myself. Thanks for the suggestion though.

  • External hard drive mounting problems :(

    I've been using a Western Digital My Book Pro 500GB drive on my G4 (mirror door) with OS X 10.4.8 via FireWire 400 for a long time now, works great. It looks like this:
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=242
    When I try to connect it to my MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.4.6) via FireWire 400 or USB 2.0, it recognizes the drive, even mounts it (according to Disk Utility), but it does not show up in Finder. It's totally unusable. The icon in disk utility when the drive is mounted, is not a drive icon. It's just like a blank document icon. When I unmount the drive, it shows the drive icon.
    It also does not connect to my wife's PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.8.
    What I've tried:
    - I've tried connecting the drive via USB and Firewire
    - I've tried shutting down the laptops, and re-booting.
    - I've tried zapping the PRAM on them while booting back up.
    - I've tried shutting down the hard drive, turning the drive on, waiting, and then connecting the drives again.
    - I've tried to access the drive via terminal, and it does not allow me to CD into the drive. It says "permission denied"
    - I've tried verifying the disk
    - I've tried repairing the disk.
    - I've tried Disk Rescue II 1.1 (which allows me to "recover files" but it's a lengthy process, esp for 250GB I have on it, that you have to restore to another hard drive)
    Is this a permissions problem? I don't get how come it works with one of my Macs flawlessly, but the other two doesn't allow me access to it.
    MacBook Pro Core Duo, G4 PowerMac, PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Sorry, so much I forgot to include that I've done. I forgot some people are dumb and don't use A/C adapters or use FAT32 drives on there Macs.
    I re-formatted it a long time ago using Disk Utility Mac OS X Extended Journaled on my G4 Tower (mirror drive door) with Apple Parition Map. I didn't zero it out, but it was brand new FAT32 drive from Western Digital, and nothing was on it when I reformated it to HFS.
    I didn't think the problem was Intel chip related, since it doesn't work on the G4 PowerBook either. I'm unfamiliar with GUID parition map vs APL.
    Can Intel Macs read off an APL external drive OK?
    I'll look into Disk Warrior and see what it thinks.

  • Weir drive mounting problem

    I am posting here because I have the same problem in two identical duel G5 towers running OS 10.5.7, so it's not a hardware issue, I don't think.
    When I install a second SATA had drive into the second bay it will not mount at start up, nor is it visible to disk utility. I have tested with 4 different drives with GUID and AFP.
    I have reset the PRAM, but did not help.
    Any ideas gratefully accepted.
    Thanks,

    "Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility may help.
    Also, cmd-opt-n-v (Clear NV RAM) may help as well.

  • CD-DVD drive write problem

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a lenovo 3000 N200 0769. The operating system is Windows XP Pro. For some reason the CD/DVD  RW drive can read files from cd and dvd but whenever I am trying to write on either one of these mediums, I always received a message asking to enter a blank writable disk while the drive already has a blank disk. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • DVD Drive bristle problem

    So you know those bristles on the DVD ROM drive, the ones meant to keep crumbs and stuff out of your drive? So I spilled some milk on my computer, but really it was only a few drops, I have a 17 inch and the only place that got wet was the very tip of the comp and the DVD bristles - none of the electronics got wet. But I'm guessing that the sugar in the milk stiffened the bristles and now DVD's don't want to come out, I put some water on the bristles hoping to loosen them up, but that didn't do it, does anyone know of a cleaner or something for those bristles designed to loosen them up?

    Hi, mbezold, and welcome to Apple Discussions. The UJ-815 is the oldest SuperDrive model you could have bought — at least five years old. If it was allegedly new when you bought it, I'd have doubts about whether that claim was true. If it was used, no wonder it doesn't work properly any more. If I were you, I'd return it for a refund and buy a modern SuperDrive model to replace it.

  • Dc/dvd drive not functioning and not recognized in device manager after installing Windows 7 OS

    I have an HP Pavilion laptop, model # dv9617nr, which was originally loaded (from the factory) with Windows Vista.  I upgraded the OS to Windows 7 a few months ago, and initially, everything worked fine.  Within the last month, however, my DVD/CD ROM optical drive stopped working and is not recognized in Explorer, and does not show up in Device Manager.  I have tried a number of fixes from this forum and the Microsoft Windows 7 forums, with no positive effect.  I should note that upon inserting a disc in the drive, everything sounds normal (device spins and the external LED lights up) but nothing happens and the unit shuts down.
    I have no idea if this is a software or a hardware issue.  I did check the HP website for software and driver updates for my model and the Windows7 OS, but HP has no update for this PC running this OS.  ANY help is greatly appreciated.

    After reading the boards, it sounds like the Pioneer DVR-112D 18X DVD Burner (Drive only) is the unit to buy and replace this Sony one.
    There appears to be a spacer issue related to the door on the G5 Tower case. Will the spacers from the Sony unit work on the Pioneer unit, or can the Pioneer unit just be installed as is using the existing ribbon cable. I've read the PMG5OpticalDriveDIY.pdf replacement manual, but am confused about SuperDrives vs. the Pioneer DVR-112D.
    Can anyone clarify the details of replacement?
    Also, will I need new software (Roxio, Toast) to burn CD's and DVD's after replacing the drive?
    thanks, and best regards,
    Eric

  • Satego X200-21D: TS-L632D DVD-Drive doesn't read and burn DVD-R DL

    Hallo,
    I have problems with my SATEGO X200-21D DVD-Drive
    TS-L632D to read an burn DVD-R DL discs.
    I contacted the Toshiba-support via e-mail ans asked
    for a new drive-firmware, but the answer did not solve my problem.
    There are only updates in the toshiba download area,
    but not for my drive model. I can send my notebook
    for money to a service partner, to check this problem.
    I can not understand this! I bought a highend notebook
    for 1.700 EUR and it is no firmware update support
    available to solve problems with newer discs?
    If i search for this problem in the WEB, there an a lot of
    questions and problems with reading and burning
    DVD-R DL discs with this drive modell!
    How can it be???
    I hope for some hints to get a firmware drive update
    to fix the problems reading and writing DVD-R DL discs.
    Gettings J. Janni from Germany

    Hi,
    yes I have got the TS-L632D drive and not the TS-L632H - that is true. But why is no firmware update available for TS-L632D,
    because also this drive has problems with DVD-DL discs!? I payed 1700,- EUR for my Thoshiba notebook with the
    DVD-drive TS-L632D. And in my opinion it can't be, that for this drive version is no firmware update available!!!
    Other companys (f. i. DELL , SAMSUNG) support this drive version and offer firmware updates for this drive modell.
    It is a fact that my DVD-drive has problems to read and burn DVD-DL discs! This is a known fact for many drives and therfore
    exists firmware updates for the DVD-drives to fix this problem. But why not for my drive modell???
    My be it was an error to by a Toshiba Notebook!? I am a customer and I don't care what special
    DVD-drive modell is in my notebook (TS-L632D , H or wwhat ever)!!!
    My message to Thoshiba: "Pleas help me to solve my problem!!!"
    Greetings

  • Pavilion Slimline DVD drives and eject wire...

    I tried to replace the DVD drive on my Pavilion Slimline with an HP dvd1270i DVD drive. Had no problems installing it until I tried to plug the eject wire to a plug on the new DVD drive. Problem is, there's no plug on this drive to attach the eject wire to. The DVD drive that originally came with the Slimline does have this plug. Can someone recommend a DVD drive for the Slimline that does have a plug for the eject wire? Or is there a way to transfer the plug from the old drive to the new drive? Thanks in advance... 

    I have similar problem on my micro PC case from HP
    CD rom tray has not mechanical device for ejecting media but electrical switch instead.
    There is no chance to reach eject button on DVD ROM, because it's hidden under doors on the case.
    And that {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion}non standard HP connector for opening CD used on case is not compatible with any DVD ROM I can find in my local store including HP products.
    And nobody knows anything about that.

  • DVD drive problems after 10.4.7 updae

    I successfully completed a 10.4.7 update after a nuke & repave of the internal hard disk. At the moment the only applications on my machine are Mac OS 10.4.7 and the iLife suite.
    Since I installed 10.4.7 I'm having a problem with the internal DVD drive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D Rev. A612) not working properly. On the first boot with the new OS the drive wasn't listed in System Profiler. I rebooted and now the drive is listed, but when I put in a DVD I get the tik-tik noise of the drive searching. Sometimes (maybe 1 in 5 attempts) it does detect the disk and mount it. Any ideas?

    There's a cludgy solution to getting access to the disks which I'm finding works sometimes.
    I created a new folder, e.g. "dvd" in my "Documents"
    Inserted a DVD and clicked to ignore the fact that the Mac wouldn't read it.
    Then using Terminal I mounted /dev/disk1, using the "dvd" folder as the mounting node:
    "/sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/disk1 ./dvd" when I was in "Documents"
    Then I could get into the folder. I've found that the "mount" command wouldn't do it, and neither did "mount -t iso9660", but mount_cd9660 seams OK.
    Other things to note:
    If you want to watch a movie, you can similarly "ignore" the error message when you insert the disk, and then go to the File->Open Disk menu in VLC.
    But Apple needs to get this lot sorter!
