[Solved] - CD-ROM looks like a Floppy after Ubuntu 10.04LTS + Updates
<p>Dell Latitude C-610 has a DVD-ROM taen out of a C-640 and put into the C-610.</p>
<p>I had Ubuntu 9.10 on it and everything works just fine.</p>
<p>I reformatted, installed Ubuntu 10.04, everything works just fine.</p>
<p>I updated from 10.04 to the latest kernel and other updates, rebooted, now the icon shows as floppy0 and it won't read CDs or DVDs because it thinks it's a floppy drive, not a DVD-CD ROM drive.</p>
<p>I rebooted the system with a Live CD of 9.04 and it sees it as a DVD-CD ROM.
I rebooted the system with a Live CD of 10.04LTS and it sees it as a DVD-CD ROM.</p>
<p>Therefore........</p>
<p>I have verified that:</p>
<p>1) The drive physicall works.
2) It's not the BIOS or anything to do with that.
3) It worked with Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.04LTS, but not after the updates for 10.04LTS</p>
<p>Therefore based upon the above information, I have determined that the most likely cause is an update to Ubuntu 10.04LTS.</p>
<p>Has anyone else experienced this issue? How may I fix it?</p>
