I installed Mandrake a few weeks back, and have had nothing but problems ever since. My modem is a winmodem so I cant connect to the internet, my dual boot loader does not ever want to work right, and now I cant access files on the cdrom drive. I dont understand why linux can play an audio CD just fine, but when I go to /dev/cdrom there is nothing there even though the disc is full of mp3's. I used the utilities to make sure that the cdrom had been installed. What could the problem be? Please dont flame me if I missed something simple after all I am very new to Linux.
