It usually means wrong fs type (what is in fstab for /dev/hdd and what is the filesystem on the CD? if you put 'auto' in fstab it usually works for both iso and udf filesystems), that the CD is blank, or that it is otherwise corrupted. Have you tried mounting /dev/hdd manually? -- Aaron Gaudio <prothonotar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
