/etc/fstab

Just installed MDK 10.1 on my laptop.
Can not mount /mnt/cdrom
/etc/fstab is as follows:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto

What needs changed here?

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,users,noauto 0 0

and make sure that /mnt/cdrom does exist.

Yes, thank you - that worked.

Now, can you help me get a voice recorder going.
It's usb so I would think its a mass storage device.
Does it need listed in /etc/fstab?
This line is what is in 'dmesg'
usb 1-1: new full speed usb device using address 2

Any help will be appreciated.

Do you mean its a voice recorder, that you just want to pull audio files from or is it a audio recorder, that you use with your computer?

It is a handheld Panasonic RR US360 digital recorder that attaches to my pc with a usb cable.
I want to move the files (voice) in the recorder to a harddrive.
It works in W98 but that is not where I need the files.
I've read the instructions several times trying to find out what the file extension is but have not found it.
It might be .wav, .ogg, dss: I don't know.

Okay then mass storage is exactly what you need.

mkdir /mnt/voxrec
/dev/sda1 /mnt/voxrec auto rw,suid,dev,noexec,noauto,user,async 0 0

The device might not be sda1, but it probably is. I've used voxrec, but you can of course use any name you want.

/dev/sda1 /mnt/voice auto rw,suid,dev,noexec,noauto,user,async 0 0
I have permission for /mnt/voice.
I tried this with sda1 - sda6 and nothing.
Also with sdb1 - sdb6, same thing, nothing.
'dmesg' does not list a 'sda'.
What else might it be?
Also, the notebook is 'ide' if that makes a difference.

Hmmm do a

dmesg | grep usb

Do you have these two following lines or similar
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

d1l2w3 · 01-08-2005, 08:28 PM

dmesg grep | usb
usb command not found.

usbcore registered new driver usbfs
usbcore registered new driver hub
usbcore registered new driver usblp
usbcore registered new driver hiddev
usbcore registered new driver subhid

nothing starting with 'scsi1'
