CD-ROM is not automounting...

I installed solaris x86 on an IBM clone without any problems(first sign of trouble, hehe)
I log in and do not see a cdrom .I killed the vol manager I tried stopping/ starting the vol manager but this did not do anything for it.When I insert a cd, nothing happens.
I need to know where to look to see if it is even recognized by the OS still. And any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
If I use a different cdrom, and run the kdmconfig, will that make the OS mount my cdrom correctly??
Thank You,

Is it an IDE or SCSI CD-ROM? Can you post back the output of the following command?
ls -l /dev/dsk/c*

  • How to restore if CD-ROM is not working anymore?

    I have a Satellite A45-S250 (Jan 2004) with XP SP3, still working, but the built-in Pioneer DVR-K120 CD-ROM has stopped reading any CD's. No FDD. Available boot options HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, LAN. No USB option.
    I have made Drive Image PQ-backups every now and then on USB-HDD's, but it needs a bootable CD to restore drive C: (as all System Restore disks need).
    The computer acted a bit funny lately and I tried to use the Windows System Restore but no one of 5 restore points succeeded.
    What options do I have to get the system back to an earlier date when the CD-ROM does not work?
    I have uninstalled the CD-ROM drivers and tried to install new drivers from the Toshiba website without success.
    Same drivers still there and the CD-Rom tries a lot without success. Only Eject works.
    I have tried to investigate the LAN boot option but have not found instructions that I understand to use.
    Do you (or anybody) have instructions (and experience) how to boot from LAN ?
    It would help to load the USB drivers so that I can use my separate USB CD-ROM writer to get the bootable CD to work and get the stored image back to C:, or use the factory restore disks.
    I have 3 other computers with XP networked with this Toshiba on a wireless Netgear router.
    At boot with LAN option it shows my MAC and needs some input. What should the input be?
    Or should I buy a new internal CD-ROM? Which type would fit in this laptop?
    Since this is a general question that many must have had (or are going to get), I am sure that an easy fix would be available. I am looking for some help.

    Welcome to recovery disk **bleep**, I can use the company.
    If the CD won't work, you pretty much have a problem.  In your case I suspect this is one of two things:
    1.  Device driver problems, or
    2.  Your CD has died
    Before doing anything else, try Control panel, System, Hardware, Device Manger.  On the View menu, click the "show hidden devices".  Uninstall all the drivers for any CD drives shown, and while you are at it uninstall the IDE / ATA controllers.  Shut down the computer, then restart.  Windows will load and "rediscover" all the devices you just deleted.  Sometimes that works.  If it still doesn't work go back into the Device Manager and see if there is a yellow exclamation point on the CD-ROM that could point to a resource conflict.  The driver details for the yellow objects will give you some hints on what to look for.
    If not, you may have a failing CD drive.  However, before you despair totally, it might just be a connector problem.  I don't know your model, but most CD's slide out by pressing a moveable tab on the bottom of the case, or by removing a single screw.  Remove the CD drive (it will just slide out).  Say a small prayer.  Reinsert the CD, giving it a firm shove with your thumbs when you do.  If it was just a loose connector, you might get lucky and reseat it successfully.  Also, check the lens on the CD for dirt / dust / last weeks lunch.  The lens can be cleaned with a special CD cleaner, or a cotton swab with some alcohol.
    If the CD is well and truly dead, you have two options.  FIrst, you can obviously replace the CD.  Your friendly computer store will have a replacement and they are not terribly expensive.  You might need to reuse the Toshiba mounting rails and bezel to get it back in your unit the same way, but those are normally easy to change with a screwdriver. 
    The other option is to put the recovery disk in a USB attached CD-ROM drive and see if you can boot that way.  Obviously you will need to physically remove the other drive, and maybe play with the BIOS boot priority (from Toshiba HW Setup in Control Panel) so that it boots from the CD first and not the HDD.  Some Toshiba models let you temporarily tweak this by pressing "C" or "F12" at power on instead of using the setup utility (try that first).

  • [SOLVED] My usb drives will not automount

    Hi!
    I've installed a basic Arch system using XFCE4.
    My USB disks and stick will not automount when I insert them. I have added myself to the usual groups.
    Manual mounting works however...
    What could be the issue?

  • HAL is not automounting

    I have hal in my daemons array in rc.conf and it starts up properly but when I connect a device to my system, HAL does not automount it. what is the problem?

    chicha wrote:
    HAL is an Hardware Abstraction Layer. It communicates hardware and kernel events to the applications using D-BUS.
    But it does not mount anything for you. The mounting is under your Desktop Environment responsibility. You have to enable the "automount" functionality in the Desktop Environment you use.
    As long as I do not know E17 I cannot help you.
    Did you search for "E17 automounting" with you favorite web search engine ? In this forum ?
    I solved it with autofs, it isn't much elegant but it works to some degree. So i'll make this my goal for the time, i have more free time.

  • Roland UM-ONE  CD-ROM does not mount on iMac OS 10.8.2 Roland driver for 10.8 installed as directed. No power ready light shows when connecting UM-ONE. System Profiler shows it, but not configured. Older UM-1X works fine. UM-ONE works on Dell Windows XP.

    UM-ONE
    Roland supplied CD-ROM does not mount or read by iMac OS 10.8.2, works with old TiBook and Dell laptop, however.
    Got latest driver from RolandUS.com (um_1mx8d_v100), installed as directed.
    No power ready light shows when connecting UM-ONE.
    System Profile shows it there, but not configured.
    With Audio MIDI Setup opened to MIDI Studio window, UM-ONE does not appear.
    Tried many things without success. Tried swapping UM-1X (formerly on Dell laptop) with UM-ONE. UM-ONE installed and worked there without any issues. MIDI instrument communicates fine.
    The UM-1X works without complaint and as expected when connected to any USB port on either the Dell or iMac, even a hub or keyboard port, just as it formerly had before changing operating systems, etc. It is old, but reliable.
    Upshot is, for now, that UM-1X works with either the Dell or the iMac, but is currently attached to the iMac. UM-ONE (2011 model) only works with the Dell (Windows XP).

    Same problem here! The only difference is that I'm using a MacBook pro 13 inch (2011)

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Satellite A200-23P - DVD-rom mechanic not working

    I am sorry for my English in advance this topic! - Thanks
    I have very big problem with my DVD writer (rom).
    I bought SAT A200-23P three weeks ago.
    The OS Win VISTA was installed. DVD-rom worked good.
    If I installed Win XP to second partition on my HDD (before I make install disc with driver for sata disc in nlite) and installed all drivers and utilities for Toshiba notebook, I found that my DVD-rom does not respond while I press eject button.
    DVD mechanic does not respond for eject in the XP and not even in BIOS!
    Interesting is, DVD mechanic is detecting in BIOS, is detecting in XP, operating system XP votes - DVD mechanic working correctly - its fable.
    However, if I installed XP on second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
    I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
    I have now XP only, even if Vista is on first partition - I didnt delete it.
    Do you think the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
    I think, seeing that DVD-rom not respond in BIOS - HW error.
    But is very strange, if I install XP from DVD mechanic and close then is done, DVD-rom not working ... : (
    If I open it manually and insert the disc, DVD not working (led diode not blink, just if I turn computer off, led blinked once).
    PLS help me somebody -
    THANKS!

    Hi Michal
    Your issue is very strange I mean the CD/DVD drive issue
    Fact is that the CD/DVD drives eject function should functions no matter what OS was installed on your notebook. It has nothing to do with your software on the HDD.
    So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not with preinstalled XP OS ?:|
    My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a loose connection between the notebook and the drive. At the other hand the issue could be related to the hardware problem too
    As you see its not easy to say whats wrong exactly we can only speculate.
    Now some details about your dual OS installation.
    You cannot choose between the Windows XP and Vista because the Vista boot manager was overwritten during the Win XP installation.
    This happened to me too. I have installed Win XP on my Satellite and was not able to start Vista.
    The solution was easy; I have used another original Vista DVD (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. The Vista has renewed the boot manager and then I was able to boot the Vista.
    Then I have downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
    This tool can change the settings the Vista boot manager. I have edited it and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.
    Thats it!

  • System Not Automounting CDROM

    Hello, my SunFire 240r Solaris 8 server is not automounting CD's. I have tried manually umount\mount commands wihtout success. I cannot get the system to access CD's at all.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    If mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom doesn't work then your CD drive may be defective. I'm not sure of your exact cxtx number because I'm familiar with a 220r, 280r, 420r, 480r & D240 media tray but I'm not quite sure what 240r is. Must be something new.

  • Satellite A30 - CD-ROM does not work properly

    My CD ROM does not work properly because of corrupted drivers. I have tried uninstalling etc. How do you load new drivers or even reformat from the recovery disc when the CD ROM drive won't work?
    Seems like catch 22. Anyone help?

    If it is really a problem with the drivers for your CD-Rom, you can recover it.
    Because you need to boot your Notebook with the Recovery CD/DVD.
    This has nothing to do with missing drivers in the Windows Operating System.
    And if you can not boot with the Recovery Disc, I would say your Disc drive is broken.
