I have also tried HP's site. If it was a firmware issue, would generic Ubuntu be able to run the drive? I booted a USB stick of 10.04 over the weekend and was able to detect the drive and play a CD--though there was no audio. It is mounted internally, plugged into the IDE cable. The jumper is set to "slave". There is nothing else on its channel. The BIOS detects it. I do not know how to mount it as it doesn't have a mount point that I can find. I'm not too skilled with the command line, but when I use the GUI, Places does not have an item for CD or DVD. Places>Computer opens a file browser window that lists only floppy0 and File System. Of course there is no floppy, "special device /dev/fd0 does not exist". Under Karmic, there used to be a listing, but it wouldn't open; it showed the error "special device /dev/sc0 doesn't exist". Now in Lucid there is nothing to click on. ls /dev confirms no /dev/sc0. ls /media outputs floppy floppy0 Are there any other terminal commands you would like to see the output of? Thanks, PD </div></div>
