Mandrake 9.1.
I'm trying to create desktop icons for my cdrw & dvd drives.
I had no problem with the ones I did for my external Firewire & Usb drives.
CDRW: dev/scd0 /mnt/TDK
DVD: dev/scd1 /mnt/DVD

I can read these drives from the folders in Konqueror in the mnt directory.

When I try to create the icon shortcuts: the drop down box doesn't show the /mnt/TDK or /mnt/DVD options. I entered the following manually:
CDRW: /dev/scd0 (/mnt/TDK)
DVD: /dev/scd1 (/mnt/DVD)

When I try to access these shorcuts I get a mount error message: mount point doesn't exist.

What am I missing????

Below is my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/hdh1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdh8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/DVD supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sdb5 /mnt/FWHD ntfs user,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/TDK supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

/dev/hdh7 /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdf7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdh5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdh11 swap swap defaults 0 0

Thank's.

It's because you have supermount enabled for those two drives. The icon you were trying to make is a mounting icon and drives listed in fstab as supermount aren't included because you can't mount them with the mount command; they're supposed to be automounted when you insert media. I've had nothing but problems with supermount and have disabled it. If you want to disable supermount. run:

# supermount -i disable

Fstab will be automatically edited to reflect the change and you will then see both drives as an option for making mounting icons.
If you want to keep supermount, just make desktop links to the location of their mountpoints, /mnt/TDK and /mnt/DVD.

rt-click the desktop and choose Desktop Properties and check the drives you want to see.

Supermount was the problem. I noticed on other Mandrake installs they had "none" also. Used Mandrake Control Center to make changes.
Below is my new /etc/fstab file: (Works as planned now)

/dev/hdh1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdh8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/scd1 /mnt/DVD iso9660 noauto,user,ro, 0 0
