If so, you're not the first person to complain that such a CD-ROM drive only works for the installation and not thereafter. However, before we jump to conclusions, it'd be nice if you gave us some more information. Specifically, the exact error message you get when you try to mount your cdrom, and the output of the dmesg(1) command. Ciao, Sheldon.
