My CD-ROM thinks its a hard drive!

[AxE]

Im having trouble with my cd drive, i reinstalled it after failing to get my netgear card to work, installed squirrelscsi software and AmiCDFS but nothing happened, installed idefix97 and CachCDFS and still no joy. When trying to run AcdPlay it says its not a cd-rom drive. I got the SCSI List program from aminet and listed under scsi device is a hard drive! but suirrelscsi device has nothing. How can i get my cd-rom to think its not a hard drive!?

chris, thanks for your great reply, im using 3.1 with a squirrelscsi and looked into everything you suggested apart from not having a mountlist file (which i dont think 3.1 has anyway) i cant see anything wrong with it. I`v gone back to amicdfs and  tried a few backup startup scripts, it now appears that it doesnt get mounted atall, the volume isnt listed on a file requester. there is power in the drive i can eject the cd tray manually.... i used this cd drive before trying to install a netgear ethernet card with no trouble.

/me goes off to check the cables for a third time

oh in ARTM it says it is mounted with the following paremeters
Device=CD0
HD=1
Sec=32
Buf=64
Cyl=1101
I=0
Handler name= squirrelscsi.device
and yet when i insert a cd no icon comes up and the busy light doesnt come on

you`ve misunderstood thats not what my cd0 file says, but what ARTM says is mounted

works fine now , i think it had a bit of dust in it after taking it apart for a good clean it worked first time
