Here is my fstab file
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 noauto,users,owner,ro 0 1
It says my device is not a block device or something.
I'm trying to have Linux be bale to read my burned DVD's in my DVD-ROM.
Yes, the /dev/dvd and /mnt/dvd are created

Is /dev/dvd a symbolic link to something? IDE disks (and drives) are generally referred to as /dev/hda, hdb, hdc etc. For example my DVD drive is /dev/hdc and I just have a symbolic link called /dev/dvdrom (if I recall) that points to that device.

yeah I created a link according to a response on a forum.
ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/dvd (assuming your dvd-drive is hdb, where primary master is hda, pri slave is hdb, secondary master is hdc, sec slave is hdd, make sure which one is your dvd-drive)
now make mount point for ur dvd " mkdir /mnt/dvd "
now edit fstab:
open kedit as root (run> kedit >Alt+O >Alt+U >Alt+w >give root password)
open /etc/fstab
now make sure the following line is there:
" /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 noauto,users,owner,ro 0 1"
close fstab and save it.
This is what I did.

What kind of DVD media is this?
Also, try changing the type to "auto" instead of "udf,iso9660".
