Ubuntu will not recognize my Cd drive

[Dan6]

I'm trying to burn a cd and Ubuntu won't recognize my cd drive. I tried putting in an audio cd and nothing came up either. It's not hardware issues as I can still boot from the live cd. What can I do to get it to recognize me cd drive?

Type the command "cat /etc/fstab" in the terminal and post the output.

This is what I get
dan@Dans:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

Well, I don't see anything obvious problems there... (I'm assuming you have two optical drives on your computer...?)

What about the output of "mount"?

[Dan6]

yea I do, this is what I get
dan@Dans:~$ mount
ext3 on / type unknown (rw,-t)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

Sorry... I should have mentioned this, but could you put in a (non-blank) CD in the drive and try "mount" again?

[Dan6]

I've got an audio cd in the drive right now

[Dan6]

This is with my ubuntu cd
dan@Dans:~$ mount
ext3 on / type unknown (rw,-t)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Okaaayyyy...

Let's try manually mounting the drive. I don't know which of your drives it is -- and you do have two optical drives, right? -- so let's try both. Type "sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 && sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1" and post the output.
