HI, Niel. Thanks for your reply. All of the permission boxes are cheked, so I 
uncheked all of the "user" boxes just to see if anything happened...nothing 
changed. I would like to mount both /dev/cdrom and /dev/scd ideally. 
        I am able to post to a forum connected to some cd burning 
software.....prehaps someone there might have the answer, I'll try there.
cheers,
Jon DAvey.
