When I insert a cdrom and do a dir in the console, all I see is ????? ????? ?????

anyone know how I can get linux to read the files normaly?

btw, I'm running mandrake 10.1

ok try typing mount /mnt/cdrom , then do ls /mnt/cdrom to see if the drive is mounted.

nevermind

I just realized that the wrong decoding module was being used...

i changed it to iso9660, which is the default under windows and it now works.

thx!
