cannot access to cdrom

mag_um · 05-17-2005, 04:59 AM

Hi there i need help. I'm using redhat 9. I cant access to cdrom. when i type : mount /mnt/cdrom it shows : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

I couldn't find what was wrong. Anyone can guide me, pls.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Open up a text editor then open the file '/etc/fstab' and paste it's contents into a post, that should help with diagnosing your problem

And it would also be useful if you said what type of CD drive it is, IDE, SCSI, external...?

when u get this error see for the mntab file in the /etc
and see if it is already mounted...
and along with the fstab file
post the mntab file also (ie after u get the error)
