Help! CD-RW Media

[timothy@smasher.rs.itd.umich.edu]

        Hi, i'm trying to mount some CDRW media, but its not working. :(.

<SNIP>
root@jade:/home/timothy# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
       or too many mounted file systems
</SNIP>
...... So I suppose its not iso9660?

        Now, man mount says that without the '-t' option, it will probe the
filesystem type. But ....

<SNIP>
root@jade:/home/timothy# mount /dev/hdc /cdrom
/dev/hdc: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdc: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
</SNIP>

        Anyone happen to know whats wrong here? What kind of filesystem CDRW
drives normally use. (This one was made in an 'omniwriter')? Or some other way
that I can probe the filesystem and see what it is?

Many thanx in advance!
Timothy
