Thanks for answer, the relevant line is:
/dev/hdc on /media/GeTax2006 type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=hfs)
That confirms your guess.
Also the CD is "rw", could that play a role?

I still feel uneasy knowing Linux does not tell me the whole truth about a CD 
(neither does M$)
Any pointers about that?
Why does detection of HFS partition prevent detection of other?



Thanks		Perry
