You do that as root, don't you, and besides, a cdda player don't need to mount cdroms, it uses the device itself in read-only mode. But to copy files, you need to mount, and to mount you must be root, or change the fstab file as stated above. > So why the error message? > What did I miss? > Better Ideas on cdrom configuration are most welcome. > As I should be able to burn CDs with this device > and watch DVD movies? > You should be able to do all you can do with your drive, in your case, I believe you can read cds and read dvds, but as far as I know, you can't burn cds, its a dvd drive, not a cdrw or a combo.
