I used k3b and it did work now. However I tried to mount the cd now to view the files and make sure it mounted okay and it still wont mount. Its giving me the same already mounted error. I then DF'd and it isnt showing as being mounted df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 36352632 32781044 1724960 96% / /dev/hda1 99043 16595 77334 18% /boot none 517844 0 517844 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdb1 57694324 47170648 7592896 87% /corp mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/cdrom already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy At least I guess there is some progress. Thanks
