Robert: The DVD drive in my daughters box is a TEAC (which I've been
told are problematic!). I will try to get Diagnostics for it, from the
TEAC web site. That drive can automount CD's, without problems. I'll
also check dmesg as Mark did on his box with the problem. Not trying to
hijack Marks' thread. We have same problem. Lanny
