Bug Description
My DVDRW and CDRW drives are not working properly. I think the quickest way to describe the problem is a link to my posts in UbuntuForums (http://
The longer version is this:
Ever since my upgrade to Feisty, the side panel in Nautilus has had to icons that should have linked to either of my removable media drives. Instead they would inform me that the drive in question did not exist. I attempted by various means in /etc/fstab to correct the problem, but instead it just kept getting worse. Even though I copied my original fstab and eventually replaced it, my system never recovered.
Currently, DVDs are functionally invisible in the DVDRW tray. They will play in the CDRW, however. CDs are functionally invisible in either tray to everything except Sound Juicer. I mean EVERYTHING... no k3b, no Nautilus, no XMMS or Audacious. Nothing.
Here's my current fstab (with the pertinent lines from it's predecessor commented out):
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

Here's the pertinent hardware:

Here's the output from dmesg | grep CD:

(There is an audio CD present when I entered the above)
I'm on Feisty, linux-image 2.6.20-16-generic. Thank you in advance for any help.
Similar issues on home comp. Nothing seems to be able to access audio CDs (except, previously, Sound Juicer), since I tried changing to Audacious in System >> Preferences >> Removable Drives and Media with the line "audacious -p /media/cdrom" in the appropriate spot. No luck. "No playable CD" is the standard type of error I get.
Once again, my fstab doesn't quite seem to agree with my hardware: 2fe6-4211- abbb-a22984e964 8b / ext3 defaults, errors= remount- ro 0 1 7b4a-4def- badb-fa40de5431 4a none swap sw 0 0 a8da-4f43- 81a7-c67928f282 e0 /media/storage ext3 defaults 0 0

... whereas sudo lshw gives the following for my CDROM:

Nowhere does it say /dev/hdc. However, I'm reluctant to alter it here at home, since it actually made matters worse at work. Here's some more info that might be of use:
