Problem Mounting empty DVD-Rs, can mount CDs


I use debian Sarge, kernel 2.4.27.
I can mount CDs using "mount /cdrom" or by mounting /dev/hda which is my cd drive.

but when i insert an empty DVD-R and try to mount it i get-

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda,
missing codepage or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

my fstab is-
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdc5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0

this is very weird.

thanks, Heeap.

You can't mount a blank dvd since it contains no filesystem on it.
Also I would change iso9660 in the fstab to auto.
