Hi, > I think you have something, why is it looking at hda for a dvd? /dev/hda could be a DVD drive. In fact on my system here at work it is. The reason is all the other disks are SATA disks, and thus /dev/sdaX - The DVD drive is the only IDE one and thus gets /dev/hda What does the command > mount give you, when you have the DVD in the drive and mounted.
