Hi James,

so you have a SATA DVD drive, do you? Well, that's different. If you're 
running Feisty it should come up as /dev/sr0 (possibly even /dev/scd0).

/dev/sg0 is just the generic SCSI device - udev creates this whenever anything 
is detected which uses the SCSI command set. On home systems this will be 
things like SATA HDDs, USB/1394 HDDs, USB flash drives - and SATA optical 
drives. The actual devices for each disk will be, as you probably 
know,  /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 and so on.

See if you have /dev/sr0 in /dev. If you do, you should be able to edit 
your /etc/fstab and replace /dev/hd* with /dev/sr0.

Cheers,
Les
