Hello, I installed Ubuntu Gnome on a Gateway PC. The only thing is that the CD-ROM shows in computer, but i cannot mount it. When I try and mount it gives the message "Unable to mount the selected volume". Can anyone help me with this issue?

Which version of Ubuntu - what are your computer specs.? Ubuntu should have auto mounted the CD drive upon installation. I assume you installed Ubuntu via this CD drive? It won't play CD's? Does a thumb drive auto mount when you plug it in? Camera etc.?

Well, it's a Gateway Performance 1000 - Yes I installed via CD - If I plug a flash drive in it works fine. I am thinking maybe it would be easier to use a external cd player. Unless you know of some kind of work around.

Open the terminal and post the results of this command

cd /media

[Crutchizm]

the result was - /media$

What does that mean?

I left this out

dir[

directory command. This should list the drives available.

What happens when you stick a music cd into the drive??

nothing happens when I put a cd in....so what should I type in the terminal?
