Mounting a data DVD
 

I've just fitted a DVD writer at work. I brought I freshly burned data DVD to test it with. I've hooked up the drive, added it to fstab and can mount and browse a CD through it so I guess I've plumbed it in right.

The thing is that I can't mount my data DVD I brought from home. I get this error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

I tried looking in syslog and dmesg but didn't find anything useful that I could understand. I was wondering if anyone can tell me whether this message is telling me that my data DVD is duff or that I need to do something else to be able to read it.

This is the line from my fstab:

/dev/hdb /cdrom1 iso9660 ro 0 0

I know that a simple solution is to try a data DVD that I know works but I'm stuck at work for 3 days and nights and was hoping to get this sorted . Any help appreciated.

it might not be iso9660 allot of dvds are udf try changing iso9660 to auto and see if that works

DVD writer no good at reading
 

It was an iso9660, I managed to get hold of a DVD-ROM drive and install it. The DVD-ROM reads it just fine, just that the writer is crap at reading I guess. Thanks anyway.
