[SOLVED] --Cant locate where cd roms are mounted...

Hi.
I have a Acer ASpire 1410.

Just today i realized i cant access my cd roms.
The driver works. I can use livecds...

# /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

/dev/cdrom             /media/cd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd               /media/dvd  auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/fd0               /media/fl   auto    user,noauto             0      0

UUID=700ba8fb-5e37-4747-8563-998ab84b6b4a / ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID=a0cdef97-e274-4501-8a1a-6caf2645db7a /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
UUID=b1bde3cb-7d3c-4c5c-ba4d-3f0b71822eeb /home ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID=efd2c037-1cce-4646-a137-5ef62ac5f6d4 swap swap defaults 0 0

Thats my fstab.

On my old laptops i never had this problem,and the only difference between this and old is that older where a bit more powerful.

I need to burn a cd...

PS:And my driver is not disabled in bios(http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77086)

Re: [SOLVED] --Cant locate where cd roms are mounted...

Please define "can't access".

According to your fstab, cds get mounted to /media/cd. A simple "mount /media/cd" should do it.

If you want automounting, note that it's not configured by default. You can start from here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FAQ … mething.3F

Your cd burner should show up as /dev/cdrw. Check ls /dev/cd*

Thanks it works now. Ill check the automounting apps.

This just seemed odd to me because in the old laptop i never had to mount(neither i had automounting apps)
