Hi,
have attached text file of  dmesg output, bit lengthy to post

Doesn't appear to have any mention of cdrom,  but am not sure what I 
should be looking for
/dev list only has sda sda1 2 5 these all appear to be hard drives .

Exerpt from this machine as below, but nothing on laptop even remotely 
similar

[    8.120000]  sda:<6>hda: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 
2048kB Cache, UDMA(66)
[    8.132000] Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
[    8.136000]  sda1 sda2 <<6>hdb: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW 
drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(66)

Thanks
Take Care
Winton
