CDrom drives won't work

[black300zx]

The other day my CDrom drives stopped working. I can't read from them, and when I try to rip a cd to my computer using Grip, I get this error:

Error: Unable to initialize [/dev/scdx] (where x is either 0 or 1, depending on what I set grip to use).

It started the other day when I was ripping a bunch of cd's. Some of the heavily scratched cd's were stalling out, and after ejecting them, I'd have to manually remount the drive to get it to recognize a cd. I took a look in the disk&filesystems menu, and it was acting funny (ie - I'd click to modify scd0, and the dialog would have scd1 as the name, ect). I've heard of similar things happening to this menu.

Anyway, I took a look at my Fstab, and it was a mess, so I started cleaning it up, but I still can't get the cd drives to be recognized. The scd0 and 1 lines look correct to me, but I'd appreciate some input. Also, my Sda(x) lines look really messy too. Any suggestion on cleaning up the whole file would be appreciated:

Re: CDrom drives won't work

For comparison, excerpts from my "fstab" file:

/dev/sda1  none  swap  sw     0  0
/dev/sda2  /    ext3  defaults  0  1
/dev/sda3  /home  ext3  defaults  0  2
/dev/sda4  /fake  ext3  defaults  0  2

/dev/hdc  /media/cddvd  udf  noauto,users,ro  0  0
/dev/hdd  /media/dvdrw  udf  noauto,users,rw  0  0

You get the idea: sometimes "less is more"
