i typed cd\media nothing showed up why is that.
If that is what you typed in, you have to have a space between it, and it needs to be a backslash, so it would be "cd /media," but probably an easier way would be to type in "df" into the console, it will show you various entries with /dev/... , probably one that you would be looking for is /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom or something similar, the last part will be where it is mounted, like /media/cdrom, or whatever, and you can then just type into the terminal "ls /media/cdrom" for example, see if there are files and folders listed there, then press up arrow and you can type in the folder name, like "ls /media/cdrom/folder" for example, just to see if you can actually see the files and folders there, and also see whether you can see them within the file manager on the pandora would probably work too, just suggested terminal in case xfce was doing something special with mounting or something.
