    CD/DVD drive won't mount

    Running Ubuntu 12.04

    I can't get my cd/dvd drive to work on my laptop HP DV6700. It will eject and run when I put a disc in. It just doesn't mount. I do have Windows 7 duel boot and it doesn't even show in the device manager. I have checked the bios and it does have the dvd boot option there so therefor it recognize it. I tried using a LiveCD but it doesn't boot up. I don't believe I have done anything new to cause this problem. I been trying to figure this out for a long time now. I even remove the cd/dvd drive and plug it back in and still have the same issue.

    Re: CD/DVD drive won't mount

    has it ever worked on this dual boot installation? does it work in windows?
    please stick to the facts and be kind.
    what else can you do when you don't know each other.

    Re: CD/DVD drive won't mount

    It sounds like a hardware problem, possibly a cable, possibly the controller.

    Try this command: sudo lshw > myconfig.txt

    Edit the file with gedit, and search for cdrom, dvd, etc. On my system, it's about 70% of the way through that file.

    Is it possible to try the drive on another computer?

    I type sudo lshw > myconfig.txt in the terminal and it did nothing. I checked my other laptops and the drive wont fit in them.

    Re: CD/DVD drive won't mount

    try different media players, iirc some of them can access the drive and play a disk without it having been mounted before.

    repeating my question from post #2: does it work in windows???
