Dear friends:
I did install my Scientific Linux system from data CD's, using my
CD/CDWriter drive (hdc). But now it turns out that I cannot transfer
any of my data files from a data CD to my computer using my
CD/CDWriter drive. I can only do it using my DVD drive, whose
contents show up correctly in File Manager.
Thank you.
Benjamin
What make and models of drives, please? This could help resolve the
issue quicker.
I can only agree that the drive cannot support the media. Note, there
is an issue with CD-RW's that I only learned about a few weeks ago and
being able to be written/read in certain drives and this has to do
with the speed of the drive.
For the cost of CD's, it isn't work the cost of CD-RW's anymore,
except for test burns.
Dear Robin:
Problem solved!
First, mount /dev/hdc as follows:
#mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /media/cdrecorder
That's it. That does it for data files. For music files, no need to do
anything. Just play the CD on KSCD or any other CD player.
Thanks.
Benjamin
