[ubuntu] Unable to mount DVD-R

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – In 12.10, any time I put a DVD-R in my disc drive I'm presented with this prompt: I'm trying to mount an .iso image to a disc with Furius ISO mount, but the disc drive is not recognized in the program and I have to assume it's because of this issue. I've tried watching standard DVDs and haven't had a problem with them, so it seems to only be problematic with DVD-R. I'd very much appreciate any help on this issue. Please let me know if any more info is needed. (Hardware)

CD/DVD drive problems 3 years 36 weeks ago

I'm running Fedora 11 on an Asus M50 laptop, which has the following optical drive: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N. I've been having issues getting discs to mount (though until just now I was able to burn CDs just fine), and unfortunately I've had a hard time reproducing the various problems. Some relatively consistent symptoms, however, have been:

I'm running Ubuntu Karmic, and for some reason it wont mount dvd's. I started having problems when I upgraded to Karmic when it was released. I am able to mount cds jsut fine, just no dvds. A friend gave me another drive to try, and no dice. So i have the disc for maple 13 that I need for school, i pop it in, nothing. I put the dvd in my wifes machine and it works just fine.

also posted hear

i have exactly the same problem but also i cant boot from any live cd or live usb. Also when removal the hard disc from my laptop (aspire 5600) then boot normally from live cd.

i placed the hard disc as external to another pc and showed it up but i cant get into it.

[ubuntu] Unable to mount cdrom0 3 years 12 weeks ago

Hello everyone,

I've been using my Acer 5520G for 1.5 years and I haven't taken any errors with my cd/dvd writer until last a few days.

I'm having some issues with my CD/DVD drive in Ubuntu. When I first start up Ubuntu the drive works fine, but after I eject the disc that was in there, it doesn't seem to be able to mount the drive again. When I try to mount it by right clicking, I get this message: mount: special device /dev/scd1 does not exist.

I am trying to burn an audiobook with XFburn, but xfburn says the disc is full.Thunar doesn't show the cd drive, and all atempts to mount it say that I have a bad filesystem.I attempted opening the disc with VLC, mounting it and changing the disc, all to no avail.(I also don't have another drive to cross check with)./dev shows the following drives.cdrom3 cdrom6 cdrw3 cdrw6 dvd3 dvd6 dvdr

I need to use ubuntu for a class project but don't want to have it installed on my computer. I was told I could burn it to a disc and run it from there. How do I do that?

I put the windows installer on the disc already but when I go to download ubuntu from that program, it asks me to make a password and user name and the only option it gives for location is my C:\ drive.

My os is ubuntu 12.10 32 bit desktop. (Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E6500 @ 2.93GHz × 2) . When trying to burn the lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso file on a blank DVD-R Disc, using the startup disk creator, I get this error: unable to mount blank DVD-R Disc location is already mounted. I have never encountered such problem before. What is wrong and how to correct it?

In Fedora 17... Can't Eject Disc After unmount?

Sequence...

Insert cdrom disc Mount it

# mkdir -p /media/dvdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /media/dvdrom

<Do something, Copy Files, Whatever...>

Unmount it

# umount /media/dvdrom

Press Eject Button, Nothing Happens? What now? Kind of weird issue, someone has to have experienced this?
