CD fails to show contents -- Problem Solved!

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

Linux is asking for the file system. So, let's just give it this info.

[root at localhost etc]# mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder -t iso9660
mount: No medium found
[root at localhost etc]# mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder -t iso9660
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root at localhost etc]# cd /media/cdrecorder
[root at localhost cdrecorder]# ls
all-20050412.tar.bz2 phpbb_db_backup.sql RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
[root at localhost cdrecorder]#

That's all there is to it. You can now see the contents of the data CD.

Thanks to all.

Benjamin
