[SOLVED]d will mount but dvd does not mount

So i have went over backwards and forwards the Hal wikihttp://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL with no luck what so ever.  I am brand new to arch linux but a long itme ouser of ubuntu. AS i said in the topic cd will mount but dvd does not mount.  can't figure out why?
Here is my entry for DVD in FSTAB

/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto,iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

Try commenting that line by placing a # at the beginning of the line: in this way hopefully hal will make everything work

What happens if you mount it via terminal?

Re: [SOLVED]d will mount but dvd does not mount

ok so i found a quick fix but i dont know if this will fix it permanently What i did was I ran

wodim -devices

and it turned back

/dev/scd0

So i switched the fstab accordingly.  But why is hal not automounting it.  Hal does not also automount my USB drives.
