Hi All,I've had to reinstall Mint - Grub collapsed and rendered the system unbootable - and everything is now working again, except the DVD which as you know I was having issues with previously. However the problem is now worse as the drive will now not mount /at all/ whereas previously it was just random.At the suggestion of a friend I tried with an external USB drive and that behaved perfectly - ignored the drive until I inserted a DVD and then asked what I wanted to do with it.lshw with external drive connected: julian@Cerce ~ $ sudo lshw -C disk [sudo] password for julian: *-disk description: ATA Disk product: SAMSUNG HD103SI physical id: 0.1.0 bus info: scsi@3:0.1.0 logical name: /dev/sda version: 1AG0 serial: S1VSJ9BSA08425 size: 931GiB (1TB) capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos configuration: ansiversion=5 sectorsize=512 signature=12477ae0 *-cdrom description: DVD-RAM writer product: CDDVDW SE-S084F vendor: TSSTcorp physical id: 0.0.0 bus info: scsi@4:0.0.0 logical name: /dev/cdrom1 logical name: /dev/cdrw1 logical name: /dev/dvd1 logical name: /dev/dvdrw1 logical name: /dev/sr0 version: TS00 capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram configuration: status=openlshw without without external drive - I believe it /should/ be listing my internal drive.julian@Cerce ~ $ sudo lshw -C disk *-disk description: ATA Disk product: SAMSUNG HD103SI physical id: 0.1.0 bus info: scsi@3:0.1.0 logical name: /dev/sda version: 1AG0 serial: S1VSJ9BSA08425 size: 931GiB (1TB) capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos configuration: ansiversion=5 sectorsize=512 signature=12477ae0 Is the fact that it is a BluRay drive - a Pioneer BDXL - a problem? Any and all advice appreciated. Kind regards, Julian
I never like when the computer calls me a liar...Rebooted into Windows on the same PC, recognised the disk as expected and autoplayed it. Rebooted back into Mint with the DVD still inserted and for the first time since reinstalling the OS it has mounted the drive.
