Can't mount CD Rom and acces it

[dman777]

I have tried unsucessfully to mount my CD ROM and change the directory to it. I am useing Fedora core 5 x86.
The things I have tried is:
mount /mnt/drive
ln -s /mnt/cdrom/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom
mount /dev/hdc
ln -s /mnt/hdc/hdc
mount /dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/hdc/mnt/hdc

The CD Rom is working an I can access it through the GUI, but I need to do this in Xterm shell and can't.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? This is driveing me crazy.

Try,
cd /mnt/cdrom /media /cdrom
ls
If the first command works , then your cdrom is listed under media directory. The 'ls' command just tells the system to list the contents of that directory

Try

mount /dev/hdc /media/hdc

I did...it didn't work. I got the message 'not found in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Any other ideas?

thanks.

try to access /media/cdrom

try:
mkdir /media/hdc
mount -tiso9660 /dev/hdc /media/hdc
also make sure there is a cd in the drive.

o, and also do:
umount /dev/hdc
before issuing the mount comand.
(I hope /dev/hdc is your cdrom drive)
