problem accessing directoires on cdrom
 

I am having a problem when I try to access any directories on my Linux 7.1 cdrom. I am able to mount the drive and use an "ls" command to see the contents of the root of the cdrom, but I am unable to cd to any of the directories....any ideas...... I am new to Linux so please have mercy........

what errors do you recieve ?? have you tried the complete path of the directory ??

Re problem and question from trickykid
 

I recieve the statement "no such file or directory found" but I am able to see it when I use the "ls" commmand?

can you mount any other data cd and see the contents and if you can do you get the same error. ??
did you try the complete path like i mentioned before ??

With your cd in. Open an xterm
at the command line
type
su (you will be prompted for a password enter your root password)

once you succesfully do that type
cat /etc/fstab

(a semi small list of things will show amoung them should be a line about /mnt/cdrom or /cdrom) write down that line
it will start with maybe /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc followed by /mnt/cdrom or /cdrom

type umount /dev/hd? (get it from the line in fstab) It should not say /dev/hda or anything with hda it will most likely say either hdb or hdc

type mount /dev/hd? /mnt/cdrom

type cd /mnt/cdrom

type ls -FC things that look like

games/ are directories
things without the " / " are files
you can cd through " / "

Well that as far as I can help.
