cdrom woes

atumra
I was hoping somebody could help me. I can't access my cdrw. I'm running Lycoris 3 and every time I click on auto or mnt the system thinks for a minute, then hangs. If I put a new CD ROM in the drive, it does the same thing.

Uninstalling Mandrake 9.1 on a single boot system

Anonymous
Please help! For some reason I've been unable to fathom, I can't get X windows to start in 9. 1, so I have no GUI. So I want to completely uninstall it and start again with Suse. The system only has one operating system on it, Mandrake, so no partitions to worry about.

bcopp
I'm currently running WinXP Professional and WinXP 64-bit (two NTFS partitions) off a Western Digital Raptor SATA RAID0. I want to install Mandrake 10. 0 on a separate EIDE hard drive, and be able to select between the three operating systems at bootup.
