1.Trying to boot Linux with live CD killed by CD-ROM
I tried to boot Damn Small Linux from a CD but it failed sometime in the middle of the process. I hit the reset button to start over and now I cannot use my CD-ROM. It will not boot from the CD drive and even in Windows if I put in a music CD it makes sounds like it's looking for something then ejects. Was something of the failed boot saved in some persistant CD drive storage? How do I get my CD-ROM back from the dead?

3.boot knoppix from SCSI CD ROM
My hard disk was corrupted and I've tried to fix with "e2fsck -y". Then "re-install/repair" with Red Hat 9. It seems to boot and mount hard disk but no network support and cannot mount floppy. With knoppix, I can boot it off CD and run entire linux. But I have SCSI CD ROM, can someone tell me how I can boot knoppix with SCSI?
4.Reading CD-RWs in a CD-ROM Drive
I've got a Linux box running the SuSE 9 distro. Today I was looking to read the contents of a CD-RW in the CD-ROM drive (the Linux box doesn't have a CD writer), and KDE came back with an error that no media was found. Is there some software that I need to run to allow this? Thanks. Bill Lugg
5.Sun CD-Rom doesn't like CD-Rs?
Hello everyone, I have a Toshiba XM-6201B CD-Rom (which IDs as a Sun drive) in a 611 external case attached to my Ultra 2. It's pretty much new but I've had a few problems with it. At first I couldn't boot from the CD-Rom to load the OS, but I discovered that the TERM jumper was missing from the back of the CD-Rom. I replaced the jumper and now it boots the machine fine, but I wanted to use it more generally and sometimes it seems to take forever to mount/read CDs. Mostly I use CD-Rs, and I was just wondering if maybe this drive doesn't like them? Has anyone else had similar problems? Chris Tidy
