Hello all.

I am using Fedora 7. I was trying to mount a DVD, but it reported this error --- "Unable to mount media There is probably no media in the drive." I tried mounting it in command mode, but it gave another error --- "mount: can't find /dev/scd0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab."

Here is my fstab:-
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0

and here is the mtab:-
/dev/mapper/VolGroup1-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0
sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0

Can anyone tell me what to do

The error message "can't find /dev/scd0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" usualy means you haven't specified a mount point in the command line - if there is an entry in fstab you don't need it as the mount command will get the mount point from that file. What command did you run to try and mount the dvd?

I tried this --
"mount /dev/dvd"

Also, I am able to run nomal data cd's on this drive without manually mounting.

I thought that's what you were doing, add a moint point, e.g:

mount /dev/dvd /mnt

You may need to add -o loop to that, e.g:

mount -o loop /dev/dvd /mnt

I got this error

"mount: No medium found"

Have you tried a different dvd? And just to check, is this actually a dvd drive and not just a cd drive?

Yes, it's a dvd drive, and I've played dvd's with the same drive in Ubuntu.
