Well I found out that I could see the DVD on a windows machine and that 
my daughters Fedora 8 machine could mount it just fine.  I discovered 
that it is just my Fedora 7 machine that now doesn't see any DVD or CD 
when I put them in to mount. If I put it in the drive and boot the 
machine it will read it to do an install.
My Fedora 7 machine has 2 drives in raid 0 and a bunch of stuff 
installed from yum.  I haven't done an install on 8 or 9 because so much 
stuff has to be backed up and restored and  I fear that doing an upgrade 
to 10 may have problems.

For now I would like to fix this problem.  I am bringing up another 
machine that I will put Fedora 10 on and then transfer all my data.  
Then I can do a clean install on this machine.
A power down and power up didn't help the problem.
I use yumex all the time as a yum gui.  It tells me that I have 
ConsloeKit, ConsoleKit-libs and ConsoleKit-x11 installed.
Do I need to get the rpm's and force a reinstall?
