Mounting dvdrw drive

Well i am trying to mount my dvdrw drive but when i do mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom i get a message saying that i must specify the filesystem this is when i try to mount a cd. when i put in a dvd it mounts fine, but when i select the media icon in systems i get a blank folder. im using slackware 11 by the way

To mount CDs, try

Code:

#mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

try

Code:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

If you are not mounting it in the same place as you do the dvd try using the same paths that you do for that.

well i did mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom. i then got a message saying, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom. missing code page or other error....etc. what does all this mean?

Is this a valid written dvd or cd disc inserted or a blank dvd/cd disc?

I have a question. i was able to do mount -t /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom to get my cd-r and dvd-rw to mount in slackware. after i umount and put the cd or the dvd back in the drive it mounted automatically is this suppose to happen. i didnt make any changes to my mtab. i was told that i would have to do maual mount in slackware.
