(Vista?) burned CD won't mount - "No fileset found"

[amadeus_z]

Hello,

A friend has burned me two cd's with photos and neither mount:

[root@poff ~]# mount -t iso9660,udf /dev/hdc /media/dvdrom/
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

[root@poff ~]# dmesg | tail
UDF-fs: No fileset found
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
UDF-fs: No fileset found

Same with -t auto and all permutations of above.

Don't know if this helps:

[root@poff ~]# fdisk /dev/hdc

Any ideas guys? CD mounts in Windows.

did your friend closed the session???? When I use the direct burning of files to a cd from vista it doesnt close the session and I cannot read the cd's on my mac, only in windows.

[amadeus_z]

I have no idea.

I fired up K3b which is looking better; it lists one session and track, but no iso9660 filesystem. The track is the right size...

I can't figure out how to get at the data though.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the interest!

ah, I remember hearing about something which might be your problem. Vista uses a really bizarre FS to burn CDs which as far as I'm aware can only be read by Vista (ie. not even XP) there is an option to chose to burn with different file systems but if I was you I'd just make everyone send me CDs with a proper FS on them - is there no Windows port of k3b?

If you search on google you might be able to find more info about exactly what vista does when it burns CDs.

I should add I'm assuming he's using Vista - he could be on XP...

In my case CDs were readable in XP.

I have exactly the same problem here. Does anyone manage to mount such a CD?

thanks...

as windows like to say :

Error! No Error! Press any key to download error.
