Also: mount To see if the unit is now listed as a mounted device. Don't forget to check dmesg for anything interesting in the last couple of lines. The second part was just to automatically open a file browser in the correct place, I used "nemo" as I know you use Mint, so "nautilus" probably isn't installed unless you manually installed it. Either way, as you've just learnt, GUI tools are next to useless when you're trying to diagnose and fix system problems as they frequently don't help: troubleshooting is best done at a prompt. Less ambiguity, more focus, better tools. So yeah, what does "ls -alh /media/cdrom" get you?
