Just to check what the kernel sees in relation to the cdrom, you could check in a terminal the output of:
If the kernel sees the cdrom, an output should appear from the dmesg, and the ls command. You might need to run dmesg as root.
Code: Select all
dmesg | grep -i cdrom
ls -al /proc/sys/dev/cdrom

In that case, please click the arrow next to the entry to show show the content of that section as there seems to be a problem identifying the drive and the way it connects to your system.

Re: sr0 not found.
If the kernel cannot see the dvd drive, there is little the user can do to have it work. I note that it's a rather old drive whose MS driver was apparently released in 2006, according to:
https://www.pcmatic.com/company/librari ... GUD1N.html
It was revised in 2013. The generic linux driver usually covers most older dvd units in my experience, and I've been through a few of them over decades. My own approach is to replace drives that show these sort of frustrating behaviours. YMMV.

Re: sr0 not found.
If you are able to boot windows on the machine I assume you have tested the drive in Windows. If so, and it works then it is a different problem, but you have not mentioned that.
If the drive used to work and now it does not then SOP in such a situation is to reseat the cables, test and if still bad, swap out the drive.
Re: sr0 not found.
Thanks, you are correct. Now, I use the usb external DVD drive. It's very easy to use, almost no need to setup anything.NorthEast wrote: ↑2022-10-09 21:29 If the kernel cannot see the dvd drive, there is little the user can do to have it work.
