Things are as follows:
I have intalled Mandrake9.0 on a Toshiba Satellite 2800/500. I am currently 
working with a KDE environment. I don't seem to be able to access the 
contents of any cdroms. I *see* the contents (which, I hope, is a sign that 
I can access the Toshiba SD-R2002 24X4X4X6X EIDE DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive) but 
when I try to read the files they are reported as " non existent". From 
that point onward, directories disappear and finally the entire cd 
disappear from my desktop (it disappear to the point that I cannot find it 
even if I look for it in a shell window). The only thing I was able to do 
(but not always) was to copy files on the HD in order to read them.
I am also puzzled by the fact that when I check the hardware config, the 
CDROM drive appears to be connected to a SCSI.
I really don't have a clue. Do you?

Thanks
