Re: /dev/hdc not a valid block device

[Ridhwan <rizwan clovertechnologies com>]

	Does the bios detect the cd drive. If yes then which IDE interface is
it connected to. The Primary master (Ist IDE) is named as hda
		     Primary Slave		        hdb
		     Secondary Master		        hdc
			^^^     Slave 		        hdd

Check to which /dev/hd? is your /dev/cdrom is linked.
