Mounting Windows Partitions

[Robert Dege]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you're supposed to mount
audio CD's.  CD Players just directly query the device from the /dev/
directory.

What you can try doing is create a soft link in /dev from you CD-Rom
device -> /dev/cdrom

Most commonly, SCSI CD-Roms start off as scd0.  IDE CD-Roms are dependant
upon the IDE Controller it's on & Master/Slave.


ie:

cd /dev
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom

or

cd /dev
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

Hope this gives you a direction to work with.
