We need an actual error message. I know: you're using a pointy-clicky
thingy. Get to a command line and try:
$ mount /dev/hda
Give us the error.
Try removing the udf part of the fstab entry. Perhaps its getting
confused. A normal CD should be iso9660.
Install the package cdck and run it on the cd. It doesn't need to be
mounted: it tries to read the whole CD and checks for problems at the
bit-on-the-media level.
Give us the output of any commands you run.
Doug.
