A CDROM problem

[d.unicorn]

guys, please help me ... after installing Fedora on my machine, my CD-R/DVD-R drive was not detected as part of the system hardware. What do you think i can do?

???????
what happens when you put a dvd ( data disk or movie -- ie. The Terminator) or even the install dvd

for a data dvd, like the install dvd, you should get a icon for it on your desktop .

[d.unicorn]

pls what i mean is, the CDROM was not even detected at all, even if i put any disk, i can read it. nothing like CDROM drive as part of my hardware list. So, can i have my CDROM drive back .... with Fedora on my machine. I don't want to remove Fedora .... !!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnVV]

do you have two drives one a dvd and the , the not seen, one is a cd/dvd drive

even if i put any disk, i can read it

so you CAN read a cd put into the drive ??? -- if so then it is working.
what is listed in the folder , on your desktop, called "computer"

in the services
System / Administration / services
is the "haldaemon " running ?
is there a error message in the system logs
/var/log/dmesag
/var/log/messages

wow, it was a mistake from me .... the CDROM drive can't read any disk ... it's not even listed in my computer folder. how will i get it there? it not part of my hardware list .... but what's surprising me is that it was the same drive dat i used in installing it ...

this is part of what i have in my /var/log/messages, take a look at it ...
