Ah I didn't know the command for list thanks for that. Though i did try t=
he cd=20
command for all the drives without success. CD is one of the few commands=
 I=20
know.=20

Today however the  problem has magically fixed itself. And I can once aga=

access my CD's. Is it normal for Linux to invent a problem and then repai=

itself sometime later? I tried rebooting and leaving it switched off for =
a=20
minute yester day but it still never fixed it. Still all's good now. Than=
