where'd my cd go?

["Richard E. Hawkins Esq." <hawk@eyry.econ.iastate.edu>]

Unless my memory has faded even more, a possibility I won't rule out, I 
used to be able to mount cd's with 

   mount /dev/hdc /cdrom -t iso9660


I now get, 

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
eyry:/home/hawk# mount /dev/hdc /cdrom -t iso9660
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

Have I forgotten something?  

I've tried this with my imsl documentation disk, and a couple of 
windows disks.

I just bought a gaggle of windows programs for the kids as the local 
dollar store had them for .99 and 1.99, and I need to get them off the 
cd's and onto the laptop.  Preferably to run under dosemu and windows . 
. .

(hey, my 7 year old can use linux.  And preferred linux games like 
xjewel to the fancy windows stuff.  I'm trying to keep her sheltered as 
long as possible, and not have to explain the ugly facts of the real 
world--like microsoft :)
