  Tim,
  Thank's for the info.
  The kernel is 2.6.8.1

  Although it probably didn't matter, it was recommended that I made the CD burner 
  the Primary Master & the DVD the secondary. Did that, it mean's that the burner is 
  recognised by the system but now the 'DVD' is in limbo  
 
  The 'ls /prov shows 
  drivers	hda	hdc	hdd	ide0	ide 	via

  added 

  /dev/cdrom1 /cdrom1  iso9660   defaults,ro,user,noexec,noaoto  0  0

  to fstab

  When I do  'mount /cdrom1'  I now get

  mount: mount point /cdrom1 does not exist

  Am I right in saying that the Symlink is all that requires changing

  All I have to do is to read up on symlink's, unless there is something else to 
  consider.

  Once again Thank's
