DirectCD cannot read

[balajee]

Hi

I have written a CD using DirectCD on WinXP. I am trying to read it on Linux. But I can got to the drive but cannot see the contents. How do I install the correct UDF reader on Linux?

Thanks

You need to have UDF filesystem support compiled into your kernel, or available as a module. Then mount it like a normal CD, except for the filesystem type:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t udf

Specific /dev/ and /mnt/ stuff may differ on your system. The key though is specifying the -<t>ype of filesystem. --

I have DVD on /mnt/cdrom and CD writer on /mnt/cdrom2. Do I make changes accordingly to the above command?

Just depends on whichever physical drive you put the UDF disc in. I have the same kind of setup myself (named /mnt/dvd and /mnt/cdrw). Put the disc in the DVD drive and do a:
mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cdrom -t udf
(this assumes your DVD drive is Master on Secondary IDE cable). --
