Try something different: &nbsp;as root, do:<br />
<br />
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt<br />
<br />
and see if that does the trick.<br />
<br />
Unmount it as root:<br />
<br />
umount /mnt<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe that will work for you.

By doing 'dmesg' it shows that &quot;&nbsp;cannot verify CDROM format&quot; .

Please help. E-Mail: Henry.tse@alltel.com.<br />
