Audio CDs are not file systems. They cannot be 'mounted' like a data CD can.
Clicking on the CD icon will give the message you describe.

probably as a result of supermount. Here is an example of me mounting a

You first need to mount it. If you have supermount working this is just

Mr. Smith,
If you _INSIST_ on creating a boot CD, I guess all you would have to do is
take the boot disk you have, and then burn it to CD. That's a huge waste
of a CD, but that will do the trick.
You could consider buying LS-120. It doesn't run off the floppy cahin and
is much faster, but

How do you tell if its on hdb hdc or hdd I dont know
where to look. Also after typing in cd dev/ rm cdrom ln
-s /dev/hd cdrom it says - cdrom read or access error
make sure you have permissions etc. also said ln:cdrom
file exits. Now what ?

Okay so I ran dmesg | more and it does "see" everything
on my system. Running man MAKEDEV what am I looking for
? It shows several options. Now I get cdrom not ready
make sure disc is in drive. What else ? There has to be
a way to fix this.
Thank You, Chronos.

Sorry, I thought that your problem was that you didn't know which /dev/hd?
your cdrom was attached to. The dmesg should show you this information.

I deleted the wrong cdrom when trying to setup gnome
toaster. I issued the command cd /dev rm cdrom In
-s scd0 cdrom. How do I add my cdrom back in ? I get the
error message no such file or directory. Also it says to
be sure I have access etc. What command do I type to
reset it back ?

I assume you had an IDE cdrom. Was it on /dev/hdb? hdc? hdd?
Make a new link
cd /dev
rm cdrom
ln -s /dev/hd... cdrom
and that should do it.

It is a Pioneer DVD-ROM, DVD-115.
The CD where the problem occures is not burnt, at least not by myself.
It is a manufacturers CD. CD8 Components from the Mandrake package. The
subdirs from /utilities and /secure server, are empty.
In windows filemanager the files are there.

Dont hurt your brains anymore. When I login as root the files are there
! Probably only the root can install this stuff. Kinda weird that a
normal user is not allowed to see the files.

Yeh, just a few, firstly is it a burnt CD? also what speed and type of
drive? do normal CDs work...? you can probably guess where this is going
ie is the burnt cd closed and written properly or was it interrupted?
I got some weird problem here...

I got some weird problem here...
My CDROM drive cant read the files of some subdirectories on a CD.
I'm not shure if the problem occures for other CD's, but I'm shure the
files are there!
And the second problem: the CD drive doesnt recognize audio CD's. This
might be due to my not working
