couldn't find the CDRW

Asked by Roy Otterman

Even tho the DVD-RW has power and opens and closes, it seems that the program does not know it is there. Couldn't read any CD's I put in there

Ubuntu 10.10

Try this:
1. If you have Palimpsest/Disk Utility try look for CdRom drive. If it isnt there open terminal > sudo mount /dev/sdc1
2. If you don't have Palimpsest, open terminal > nano /etc/mtab look if there is word with cdrom in it. If there is > sudo mount /dev/sdc1 or whatever the word cdrom located at.
3. Check the Drive cable. MediaDrive has 2 cable (i assume you have SATA). 1 connect to power and the other connect to SATA port. check the SATA port if it plugged properly.
