Can't read any DVD, and can't mount the dvd drive

[Ashley Benton]

It seems the computer doesn't find the medium

james at james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0
mount: No medium found
james at james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: No medium found
james at james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom0 /mnt
mount: special device /dev/cdrom0 does not exist
james at james-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt
mount: No medium found
james at james-desktop:~$

I am sure that I have a DVD into the drive now and if I remember correctly
it is the cdrom0 but I tried the 3 to be sure. I guess no medium found means
that it doesn't see the dvd. Why? and what to do to fix it?
Thank you
Meg
