/etc/fstab does not show DVD drives

[iEthan]

I'm trying to follow this tutorial for setting up DVD Decrypter under WINE: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27369

I run /etc/fstab, but I cannot see a DVD drive, I only see this.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=97a88fb7-5066-4f3c-b1bf-43f06e44cc09 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=f9f8bbb6-cd88-41ed-bb38-48086b4fb546 none            swap    sw              0       0

How do I make it see the drive?

Not needed to show CD/DVD drives in fstab.

As example, this is my fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=84b9ede3-f8e2-42bf-81a5-5e55d757caaa /               ext4    errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=b7fc1fa0-aab1-486b-b6c9-dd31b62805c5 none            swap    sw              0       0

Forget those instructions - just install DVDD, (when asked if it should ck. for updates say no. - macrovision now owns it

First time you run it it won't locate your drive(s) - just open - Tools > Settings > I/O and change to the first choice as seen in screen.
Your drive(s) will be found fine then

Ex. from DVDD log
