Can't find my DVD drive in Ubuntu 12.04
- by user72953
I am completely new to Linux, due to some problems in my Windows I decided to give Linux a try. I am quite liking it accept for some minor issues.
The biggest of them is that I cannot find my DVD drive in Ubuntu.
After I insert the disk, the drive's green light flickers and then nothing. I don't get anything on my unity bar or desktop.
There is no folder inside my /dev folder which indicates a dvd drive. There is a cdrom folder in my root folder but nothing is there.
If you guys know what's wrong, I'd appreciate the help.
Am a complete newbie so don't expect me to know anything about Ubuntu, although I have spent lots of hours in last 2 days googling my issue so I have basic information...
