I believe this used to work in 9.0, however when trying to load a fixated mini-cd from my Sony digital camera I get:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems Please check that the disk is entered correctly
Of course I can always put the cd back in the camera, but I can't see why it can't be loaded as a normal cd. A normal sized cd with pictures on it has no problem loading.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc?
Are you sure about the format of the mini CD? It may use a special format, especialy if it came with Windows drivers. The CD size itself is not a problem. I have a dozen 50MD card-size, and 5 or 6 mini CDs here that I can read with no problem. I hava also written the 210MB mini-CDs and 50MB Card CDs under Linux with no problems.

You're probably right Mikkel, may be that the camera writes in propritary format.
Thanks
If you know the device name that loads for this device then do:
# fdisk /dev/actual_device_here
and enter p at the prompt.
This should at least tell us what file system is involved so that we may help better hopefully.
Because this is a mini-cd, I don't think fdisk will tell him much. But I don't recall running fdisk on a CD-ROM drive with a CD in it.

You will not be able to write the partition table.
Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/cdrom: 675 MB, 675618816 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 20 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 2048 = 32901120 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
Command (m for help): q
This at least told me that the file system is not recognised by _/*my installation*/_ so using it without the camera is a no go.
At this point I would forget about trying to mount it and look for a suitable program: unless an expert out there can advise howto mount what it is you do find out about your cd.

Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.
