[newbie] Mounting CDRW/DVD Combo

[DavidJJeavons]

Hello

I am very new to Linux and also to this mailing list. I have a problem mounting my CDRW/DVD combo. For the time being I only want to mount this drive so that I can access CDs but would like in the future to be able to burn CDs as well. I have added to the /etc/fstab file the line

/dev/hdc1 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults 0 0

but each time I attempt to issue the mount command I keep getting an error notifying me that there is a wrong fs type or too many mounted file systems.

Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.

P.S. if anybody knows how to mount an external USB Iomega Zip drive (100M) then I would appreciate that also.

Thanks in advance.
