i tired switching the cables for dvd and cdrw but the results were the same. i got angry so i blew in to the dvd drive and it kinda works now. lol. takes a long time to read it and stuff. i guess i'll need one of those compressed air thing to clean it.
i have another problem. it doesn't matter which drive i put my music cd in; it doesn't mount. it used to mount before so i could choose which track i want to add to playlist on xmms. but it just says
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems
if i just do a mount /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd:
mount /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd
/dev/hdc: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdc: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
remember, i switched my cables so dvd is /dev/hdd and cdrw is /dev/hdc. but it says /mnt/dvd cause i'm just lazy to change the dir.
what's going on?
