Can't pin down DVD no mount problem

G'day there Rashkae,

    I followed your advice,  but trying to mount only gave:

[  353.606126] sr0: CDROM not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the 
drive.
[ 1238.507237] sr0: CDROM not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the 
drive.
[ 2085.567520] sr0: CDROM not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the 
drive.

    No such luck so far.

    No, this one worked fine wth the previous Vista install, and also on 
Hardy when dual booting. It's only now that I've gone Linux-only that 
the drive has stopped working. I know having only Linux isn't the 
problem, but it started when I completely reinstalled.

    Since then I've installed & had a look at KDE4, and then removed it. 
Could that have removed something it shouldn't? It was actually after 
this that I discovered the problem, although it may have existed without 
me knowing it.

Thanks for sticking with this, as I'm only learning this stuff as I go 
along.

See ya,
