i recently purchased a copy of RH 5.2 off ebay so that i could upgrade my 5.0 system. however, when i went to upgrade, it exited with a "could not mount" error. I then rebooted my old 486 system, and tried to mount it normally. i have one of the old soundblaster cdroms, and sbpcd exited with the error "CD contains no data tracks". I began to think i was the victim of an ebay screw, but i decided to make sure first. win98 reads them fine (on a different machine, with a new IDE DVD drive) and i can boot the same new machine with the linux boot disk and the cd mounts normally as well. my question is this. its obviously not the cds, and ive been able to mount cds using the old comp before. is it : sbpcd going nuts, or my drive finally rolling over and dying? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
