When you create a data cd project, you drag and drop the files you want to add and click the burn button. Under the burn dialog, on the settings tab, it asks if you want to: No multisession, Continue multisession, Start multisession, or Finish multisession. When you burned the disk, did you check the No multisession block? If you started a multisession, then you have burned a multisession disk and it is probably not finalized. You can finalize the disc by issuing the cdrecord -fix command from a command line. If you have xcdroast installed, you can also use the GUI interface to do this by going to Create CD, Write Tracks and clicking the Fixate CD-R/RW only button at the bottom of the screen. You can also use cdrecord to try to extract the TOC on the disk, but based on your description below, it sounds very much like the problem is that the disk is not finalized. When a disk is not finalized and you try to burn additional data to it, it will detect that the media is not empty and if you are not specifying to continue a multisession, you will get the error that the disk is not empty but you can not mount it because it lacks a valid TOC for the OS to mount. > > > You might want to give us a little more info about exactly what kind of > > errors you are getting. > > With MDK (8.2 & 9.1), it says "can not access /mnt/cdrom".
