    Actually, scratch that for now. What I was after was making sure your CD/DVD drive was listed in fstab, how it's listed, and where the mount point is. Is it listed at all, and if so, is it the same as MangasColoradas'? In other words, /dev/scd0 or scd1?

    Re: cannot mount volume

    Ok tried again with the CD. When I load the disk I get "invalid mount option" message. The cd-dvd drive icon changes to UDF volume. fstab= file or directory not found. Can't post results because no internet connection with Hardy. I'm dual booting with Vista so every time I get help here I have to reboot to try. Very slow going.
    Thanks

    PS invalid mount option is referring to UDF volume not the drive

    How about this. Since your main objective right now is to get the wireless drivers, just boot up Vista, download the driver to My Documents or wherever. Then, boot into Ubuntu, access the Windows partition and transfer it over to whichever directory you want in Ubuntu

    Try executing:

    sudo mkdir /media/scd1
    sudo mount /dev/scd1 /media/scd1

    and to unmount:

    sudo umount /dev/scd1

    Re: cannot mount volume

    Right no luck with terminal, don't know what I'm doing wrong. However did the driver file fetch from Vista. The "windows wireless drivers" panel asked me for the inf file, installed it and says hardware detected. No wireless option under networks. The installer did not ask me for the sys. files which I understand are needed. ndiswrapper is installed but I guess I have to activate it or what?
    Progessing slowly but surely.

    Glad you, at least, have the drivers over in Ubuntu now. I haven't, LUCKILY, had to mess with ndiswrapper in a long time, so I can't help you there. Just a suggestion, though, you may want to start a separate thread, since you've obviously got two issues
