Cannot read cd-rs or dvd-rw!
 

Hi all,

Well i am on Debian Sarge.

When i put a cd-r in my drive it works, when i put a dvd-r it works too. BUt when i put a DVD-RW it doesnt and a CD-RW doenst too. I tried both empy and full CD-RW and DVD-RW. My CD drive sas that it supports DVD-RW, CD-RW, CD-R and DVD-R. On windows I could burn the DVD-RW AND CD-RW but on debian i can't.

When i put a CD-RW or a DVD-RW i get this error when double clicking cdrom on the Computer. I get:

"mount:wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems."

What is teh problem?

Thanx in advance

And if a CD-RW Is not emty i can read it , but if it is i can't, same with dvd-rw

And if i do in terminal for teh dvd-rw:

"mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0"
it gives me error:
"mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
or too many mounted file systems"

and then if i do:

"mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0"
it gives me error:
"mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/hdc: can't read superblock"

You will not be able to read blank CD's or DVD's (because there's nothing on them to read). As long as you are able to read non-empty CD's/DVD's then your system is working correctly, and unless they are RW's, by definition they will be mounted read-only. As a side comment, note that audio CD's do not use a standard file system, and therefore they do not need to be mounted in order to access them.

I may not be understanding your question correctly. Please post back if there are additional comments -- J.W.

OK, so hwo can i burn something on the DVD-RW or CD-RW ?
