what happens when you type:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt
and "fdisk /dev/hda" or "fsck /dev/hda"
(just wondering if they might give different errors that
might give more of a hint)
(and it is supposed to be hda isn't it? not hda1? guess not,
cos the cd isn't partitioned, just wondering out loud)
just spotted:
> % cat /proc/ide/ide0/hda/model
> HITACHI CDR-8435
so it's an IDE cd writer then?
isn't there something weird about them? like they appear as
scsi devices instead of ide? I have this vague idea there's
some catch with them.
Dave.
