Apologies for a newbie question in advance.
I burned a DVD (4.3 GB of data) using an HP DVD writer (200e) connected to
a desktop PC running linux via USB. I know I burned the data correctly,
because I can see the content of the DVD on a Mac running OSX. However, I
am unable to mount it on my Thinkpad T30 running RH8. (Windows XP running
on the same T30 in dual boot mode cannot recognize the DVD either).
My T30 has a CD-RW/DVD-R driver in its ultra bay. The commands I issued
include:
"mount /mnt/cdrom"
"mount /dev/cdrom"
"mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom"
...
I get the same error message:
"mount: No medium found"
Am I suppose to do something differently for a DVD than CD? Also, I am
puzzled as to why Windows XP couldn't see it, while Mac OSX could. Can
anyon tell me why?
By the way, the image that I burned was created with:
mkisofs -R -J -o image filenames
So I think linux and windows should be able to read the DVD...
Thanks for any advise.
