blank disk? well that's why you got the "wrong fs type" error. you can't mount a blank disk because it has no filesystem. > I understand that audio CD's & DVD's both use the iso9660 filesystem. audio cds do not use iso9660.

My last attempt to use gnome CD Player told me I had a > 'Drive Error' and that I did not have correct permissions. what does "ls -l /dev/hdd" look like? you could also try firing up something like xcdroast and scanning for drives in its setup menu. > My fstab includes > > >/dev/fd0 /floppy auto defaults,user,noauto > >0 0 > >/dev/hdd /cdrw iso9660 defaults,rw,user,noauto > >0 0 > >/dev/hdc /dvd iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto > >0 0 > > which should be correct, unless I am looking in the wrong place ... that looks about right, but you could probably leave the filesystem type for both drives as 'auto' as well. > Am I choosing the right fs type ? I tried udf with no success. again, what are you mounting? what error are you seeing? put a cd with something on it in the drive while you are testing, perhaps one of the cds from a distro. marty -- Oh what a joke this is. But it's the punchline that I'm most afraid of. You're either hit or miss. And I don't know which one I'd rather face up to.
