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.

audio cds do not use iso9660. CD players will try and access the drive
directly.

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.

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.

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.
