CD-ROM, CD-RW AND FLOPPY DRIVES

[C-O-R-E-Y]

I have that (on the subject) in my computer, verything is mounted but as a root or as a user it won't work it dosen't show me the content of the cd-rom or floppy, please tell me how to fix this and how to put all this drives working to all users and the root.
Thanks

Where did you mount them to? Try unmount them and mount your floppy, cdrom with this
Floppy: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
CD-ROM: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom

That will mount your floppy disk drive into /mnt/floppy , if you do not have /mnt/floppy, simply create one. And CD-ROM will be mount into /cdrom, if you don't have /cdrom again create one with mkdir http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

edit /etc/fstab and add user to the option list. here is my fstab:

/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro,user 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/hda9 /mp3 ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 /opt ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /root ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda8 /tmp ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda2 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda3 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
