actualy i think the question is more along the lines of
is it cd-rw media, or cd-r. they are not the same and
most non burner cd-rom drives wont read cd-rw media,
but will read cd-r. i have also had probs with older
cd-rom drives not wanting to read certain types or
brands of cd-r even. when i have the owner pick up some
for me for here in the shop, i have her buy media with
a darker bottom side if possible, seems to be readable
in more of the older drives than the real light media.
(but not always) thats why i try to keep a variety of
medias around. hope that helps

The other thing I think I forgot to mention was that
one of the cd rom's
I am using is a burner....I guess I thought I should
mention that
because of the CD-rw nature of the disk.
Additionally, the CD that I can read it on is an older
cd-rom drive on a
laptop.
One more thing....on the machine that I cannot read it
on...my ide cd
rom is doing that scsi emulation things so that
xcdroast can use it
properly...think that could be causing it?
What would be an easy way to check that without having
to redo all my
settings in modules.conf etc.
