[Techtalk] DVD drive frustrations

[SJ Straith]

Some starting information here.

I am running (for various reasons) a dual (Win2K, Debian 
Linux) boot laptop.

For some reason while my laptop has no problem seeing my dvd 
drive in Win2K it will NOT see my dvd drive even as a cd 
drive in my debian boot.   

I know that LJL installed the proper drivers, etc when she 
did my initial install, so I'm not sure what's wrong.

Anybody got some suggestions as to how I can correct this
problem? 

Thanks
