I am experiencing some problems with my DVD collection (purchased) and the CD / DVD drive (internal) in my recently acquired Lenovo ThinkStation P520. I haven't had time until recently to try to back up my CD and DVD collections as images. Particularly DVDs have been causing problems. Video cds and cds appear to mount so far...
It is quite a while since I last looked at my collections, but I seem to remember that this used to be possible. Here are some of the things that I have tried so far, to test what is going on:
$ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/optical
mount: /mnt/optical: no medium found on /dev/sr0.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.$ dmesg
[ 931.849354] VFS: busy inodes on changed media sr0
[ 1425.617563] sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0] CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.$ dvdbackup -M

You could try an external USB DVD drive to see if theres a hardware issue. I use them all the time with success.

Thanks for the answer. It turned out to be a faulty SATA optical drive.

Pretty common with older hardware, so I keep alternatives around just in case.
