Error when blank data CD is inserted
Hi
praps I`m being silly, but all I really want to do is to copy some data to a cdrom. I put the (blank) cd into the drive and when I mount it, I get the following message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom If I insert a cd which has already got data on it, I don`t get that problem - I can read the data, do whatever and then eject it. My /etc/fstab looks like this: Code:
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 Code:
hdc: command error: error=0x50 I have tried several blank cds, in case I'd put a dud in, so unless all my blanks are corrupt, the problem does not lie with the disks. I'm running the following kernel: Code:
ros@darkstar:~$ uname -r |
A blank cd has no filesystem on it. You first have to burn your data onto in.
Here is a script I wrote .. works for me. #!/bin/sh # # writes a cd from an image file # # written 24/6/00 last update 5/6/4 for 2.6 kernel # # amended to use pipe rather than tempory file # #cd_device="1,0,0" # # note for 2.6 kernel dev= parameter not needed uses /dev/cdrom # if [ -z $1 ]; then echo " " echo "type cd_write /a/path/where/the/file(s)are bootimage (optional)" echo " " echo "cd_write xxxx image .. to write a pure image to cd" exit fi if [ $2 = "image" ]; then echo "Writing pure image file" cdrecord speed=4 $1 exit fi if [ -z $2 ]; then mkisofs -r -v -J $1 | cdrecord -v -speed=4 - else mkisofs -r -v -J -b $2 $1 | cdrecord -v -speed=4 - fi # If you like to use a GUI then I beleave there are lots of programs out there for you that would do the job. Similar to nero and such on windoze. |
