Would any of you be able to confirm for me what these two files should be reading for cdrw mnt/hdc dev/hdc? My files read as follows

/etc/mtab

/dev/hdc /mnt/hdc supermount rw,dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660 0 0

/etc/fstab

none /mnt/hdc supermount dev=dev/hdc,fs=iso9660,- -,rw 0 0

the reason that i ask is that i am trying to copy some files onto a blank cd and the terminal is telling me

cp -vR /home/daniel/Documents/Backup* /mnt/hdc/mystuff
cp: cannot create directory /mnt/hdc/mystuff : read only file system

i would be grateful if anyone could print what they have, or explain why the fs is read only, or any thing else i might want to know.

ps in case you were wondering, yes i have been editing these files, but only cos i couldn't write anything anyway!

Thank you in advance

here is mine

First, as root, make sure the partition is unmounted with the command umount /mnt/win.

Edit the /etc/fstab file and change the line to this:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat noauto,user,defaults,umask=000 0 0

Hi, I noticed the message says "cannot create directory (mystuff)
what if you create the directory first then try copying the files?

Just an idea, but I'll look into it more and will let you know.

You can't just copy files to a blank CD, you need to burn them with a cd burning program. Have a look at this page for info on setting up a cdrw and this page for info on burning cd's.
