OK

     Never use ext3 for a CD!

                                        ^^^^^^^

Not to forget:  tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 new_cd_image.raw

Thats weird, because I have many ext2 CD's and it works.

What do you want to copy?

The contents or the directory of /home/satimis/Documents/FedoraCore3/?

Maybe:  cp /home/satimis/Documents/FedoraCore3 /mnt/
        or
        cp /home/satimis/Documents/FedoraCore3/* /mnt/

How dou you have mounted it?

    mount -t ext2 new_cd_image.raw /mnt -o loop

should do the job right

I am using Woody, Sarge and Etch and it works.
