    Mounting Cdrom Problems



    When i try to mount my cdrom a empty cdrom for burning or a normal audio cd it shows this error

    Imposible to mount the selected device.
    the device probably is in a format that can't be mounted

    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, missing codepage or other error
    (could this be th IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmseg | tail or so

    I don't understan what i have to do or what the information is telling me =S
    please can anybody help?

    here is my fstab

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
    /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/sda1 /media/usb0 vfat rw,user,users,noauto,noatime,noauto 1 2
    /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0

    there are lines for floppy cdrom usb ipod and hard drive
    i think my cdrom line is good but according to the error something is wrong.

    You are not suppose to mount the CDROM before burning to it. Just use your favorite CD burning application to burn to it, like K3B.

    ok

    i insert the blank cdrom then without mounting i open Gnomebaker and startt burning a data disk and when the CD image is ready and when it starts burning a error appears

    it says Failed

    and in details it says

    cdrecord: No write mode specified.
    cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
    cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults.
    cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...
    scsidev: '/dev/hdc'
    devname: '/dev/hdc'
    scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
    Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported.

    Yep, that's normal too. You can't mount an audio CD (at least not easily). But you can listen to it no problem.

    I don't know much about GnomeBaker, I always use K3B, which is far superior in my opinion.

    i've installed k3b in my computer started it and a window

    saying: System Configuration Problems

    k3b uses cdrdao to actually write cds
    solutions install cdrdao

    so i only instal cdrdao and i'm ready to go?

    I found that Gnomebaker didn't work at all with the 2.4 kernel. K3b works a treat but what I do is set up everything I want to burn with the disk in the drive but the tray open. Then when I hit "burn" it throws a "no media" window with a load button.
    As for mounting audio cd's just select computer and double click the required drive (do you have cdparanoia installed?) This will open a window and display all the files on the disk.
    Otherwise you can use K3b to rip from cd's in the normal way.

    I have had this problem in the past with k3b. Here is my solution
    chmod on these files cdrdao cdrecord and cdrecord.mmap
    in /usr/bin
    -rwS--x--x 1 root root 565104 2006-02-19 14:18 cdrdao
    -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 133 2006-01-07 10:43 cdrecord
    -rws--x--x 1 root root 323540 2006-01-07 10:44 cdrecord.mmap
