I made an iso of my home directory and burned it to a DVD, but Fedora Core aays the DVD is blank. I looked at the disc and i'm certain that there is data on the disc. I would like to know what i'm doing wrong. Thanks.

did you mount the dvd?

did you mount it?

When I insert the DVD into the drive, it automounts on my desktop as Blank "DVD-R Disc". When I try to mount it from the terminal I get the following.

[root@Black_Widow titty]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvd
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@Black_Widow titty]# mount -t iso9669 /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvd
mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9669'
mount: maybe you meant 'iso9660'?
[root@Black_Widow titty]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvd
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

What did you burn the dvd as ?

did you use a linux program ?


if you used a linux program witch one was it and what format did you write it in

I burned an .iso using dvdrecorder.

I also tried burning a tarball to CD from the terminal and I can't get that to mount either. I tried using windows and that doesn't mount either disc. Could this have something to do w/ how I close the disc?
