Hello, this is my first post (sorry if its in the wrong section); I've only just started using ubuntu linux, and, I have to say, it is by far the best OS I have seen so far. I've looked everywhere for help on my problem, but none seems to exist.
My problem is this- whenever I place a CD-R in my drive, the light beside it flashes a few times, and does nothing for a few minutes. It then says that it could not mount the drive. When I press the eject button, it will SOMETIMES (not always) say this. Also, it will not open, even if it does not give this message- I have to shut down, and, before the OS has loaded, eject the disk.
The strange thing is that I don't think it's the cd drive, as it loads music CDs (like you would buy in a shop) and DVDS fine. Also, this was installed from a CD-R.
Please help, if you can
