I'm a command line guy from way back and confess to not knowing how a lot of this automatic stuff works.<br><br>When something that is supposed to be automatic fails, look for errors in the log files, sometimes you can make intelligent guesses what's wrong. Logs are under /var/log - look in syslog and messages. Search for <i>sr0</i><br> <br>Do that - and then ask your question again on <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org">http://ubuntuforums.org</a><br><br>If/when you figure it out PLEASE let me know, by direct mail or through the list. <br><br>David<br><br> <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 6:09 PM, Jason Bowman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:deaflion1608@aol.com">deaflion1608@aol.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <font size="2" color="black" face="arial"> <div> <font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">thanks davidduck!

If you cd /media and then type <br> <br> ls -l it should show the permissions. Go to system then user and groups <br> <br> and click properties.
