Thanks a lot...

KDE - Suse.
Yes, it is worringly "Windows"! (It's for beginners like me, I expect)

Now, my /ect/fstab looks like this:-

/dev/hda3   /                    reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 1
/dev/hda1   /windows/C           ntfs 
ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8                            0 0
/dev/hda2   /windows/D           vfat 
users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true                              0 0
/dev/hdb1   /windows/E           ntfs 
ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8                            0 0
/dev/hda4   swap                 swap       pri=42                0 0
devpts      /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5       0 0
proc        /proc                proc       defaults              0 0
usbfs       /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                0 0
sysfs       /sys                 sysfs      noauto                0 0
/dev/cdrecorder  /media/cdrecorder    subfs 
noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

(I'm dual-booting that's why I've got all these windows partitions).
Note: no mention of DVD??

If I do "dmesg | grep -i dvd" I get:-

linux:~ # dmesg | grep -i dvd
hdc: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8586, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: SONY CD-RW CRX225E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 123X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)
linux:~ #

Not sure what to change in /etc/fstab - dont want to bugger things up 
any more! Can you tell me exactly what to change?


BTW:- Tried Yast > Hardware > CD-Rom Drives
- Both drives are listed - Nothing to do!

Thanks again

John
