I created a iso image using aptoncd & burned it to a dvd. Now when i tried to restore, the program does not detect the dvd in the drive. It shows "Please insert a disc in the drive." and if we click "ok" it shows E: Failed to mount the cdrom
. The dvd is in the drive itself.
I tried sudo lshw -C disk
and the output is:
*-cdrom
