That is what I get when I use a file browser to try to access my CDrom. I was trying to play music through it, and thought it was a soundcard problem, but I tested my soundcard (an app that came with fedora core 2) and It worked fine.
On a side note, this is the same error message I get when I try to mount my second hard drive.
If you read the last couple posts in this thread. You'll see that I had no luck getting to my ntfs files.
I was able to access them in mandrake linux though. And are you sure the cdrom is damaged? I can put a CD in and ksCD comes up and even recognizes the disc using CDDB but will not play it.
Fedora does not provide NTFS support by default. You are correct you will need to download the RPMs for FC2. BTW this is read only.
Create a directory to use as a mount point and then add an entry to your /etc/fstab file.
You can not mount music CDs because they do not contain a valid filesystem. KsCD requires an audio cable between the sound card and the drive. xmms uses digital audio extraction and does not need an audio cable.
Does that mean I can play the audio CD with xmms? I'll try that out in a sec.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what entry am I supposed to add into my fstab once I install the NTFS RPM?
EDIT: I was able to get XMMS to play the audio CD but the sound quality seems to be lacking. It almost seems like it's clipping ... I'll look into getting some EQ presets like I had with winamp. (sorry ... i'm a long time windows user, but i'm making the switch!)
