Re: where'd my cd go?

Hi! hello :) Rainer wrote, cooperate under drdos, either, though I have no idea whether my drdos=20 installationis in good shape or not. I think i tampered with the silly= config files several times. Uhhm, neither DRDOS nor Linux read any CD? Maybe the drive got broken? swell.

Hi! Richard E. Hawkins Esq. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Unless my memory has faded even more, a possibility I won't rule out, I used to be able to mount cd's with mount /dev/hdc /cdrom -t iso9660 I now get, mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only mount:

Re: where'd my cd go?

Isn't the mount parameters usually: mount -t filetype device mntpoint? In any case, if you have a whole bunch of windows cds, perhaps they are joliet cds? Have you tried just mounting it WITHOUT a file type, or using vfat? mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /cdrom Richard E. Hawkins Esq. wrote:

Re: where'd my cd go?

Isn't the mount parameters usually: mount -t filetype device mntpoint? I think the -t can go before or after the locations. I get the same response either way: eyry:/home/hawk# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong

Re: where'd my cd go? more
