1. The Name of my CDRW/DVDROM combo is

Code:

dev/sr0

2. I realized that I did not have any problems with CD ROM Disks, they automatically get mount and I can eject them by pressing the eject button, and also can browse the contents. The problem is with DVDs only.

3. I already have a folder which I created on advise from T_Y_F - and I have to manually mount the DVDs to browse. But he did not tell me how to unmount it

, so not able to eject the drive

Code:

/media/DVD <====The folder
mount -t auto /dev/sr0 /media/DVD <---------Code to Mount dvds

4. the following is the extract from /etc/fstab

Code:

/dev/sda7            /                    ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 1
/dev/sda8            /home                ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 2
/dev/sda2            /windows/C           ntfs-3g       rw,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda5            /windows/D           ntfs-3g       rw,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda6            swap                 swap       defaults              0 0
proc                 /proc                proc       defaults              0 0
sysfs                /sys                 sysfs      noauto                0 0
debugfs              /sys/kernel/debug    debugfs    noauto                0 0
usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                0 0
devpts               /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5       0 0
dev/sr0                 /media/DVD              auto         defaults               0 0
