Ugh, that would truly be lame. This is the replacement drive for the original, which I RMA'd because it couldn't read DVDs (didn't crash the system though). Hopefully the fact that this one is failing differently means it's not something outside of the drive that would require sending the whole t

Okay, point taken about the term "mount". What I mean is that inserting a normal CD into the drive causes the machine to lock up. I'm not trying to do anything interesting with the disc like rip tracks off of it; Gnome merely tries to access it and the machine seizes. On Sun, 2006-10-29 at 16:43
