[arch-general] DVD's won't read
Hi, I'm experiencing this problem from quite a long time. But I don't know why. I have a LG DVD Writer. It supports writing and reading DVD-R DVD+R DVD-RW DVD+RW, all CDs and some other DVD flavors I don't remember. I tried a Fedora boot DVD at boot, it worked. But inside arch (it was the same problem with fedora), it won't work. I don't think this needs any special driver because previously I'd never configured a special driver for that. CD's work fine though. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Adminstrator www.itech7.com

it's sata or ide? when i started using linux i had to change the 40 "strings" ide cable to one of 80, due to troubles while reading/writing dvds... hope this helps :) -- Salud!

Its connected by IDE now. I have a SATA converter with me though. Should I use that for my drive ? -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Adminstrator www.itech7.com
