Trouble mounting my CDROM



Hello,

sorry for the long post, just trying to give all the info that I can.
I am pulling my hair out trying to mount my CDROM on my Fedora Core 3.
The CDROM was working, then I tried to access it and it was no longer
showing any of the files listed on the CDROM. I know the CDrom works
b/c I fired up Vmware on the same box and I can read the CDROM under
windows. The disk mgt in the GUI said that the CDROM is set to auto.
When I cd to the /media directory the CDROM dir is there, but nothing
it, and there should be. Here is what I have tired.

mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom - mount /cdrom - mount /media/cdrom
mount -t /dev/hdc /media/cdrom - mount /mnt/cdrom - and on and on.

I have tried everything in man mount.
My fstab config is the following:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto
pamconsole,fscontext=system_ubject_r:removable_t
,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto
pamconsole,fscontext=system_ubject_r:removable_t
,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

When I try and access the CDROM via the GUI i get the following error:
-unable to mount the selected volume. the volume is probably in a
format that cannont be mounted.
Show more details: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/hdc, or too many mounted files systems

I then look to see if I have to many Files systems mounted. See below:
[root@Linux media]# mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw) none on /proc type
proc (rw) none on /sys type sysfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts
(rw,gid=5,mode=620) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on
/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)

I then rebooted to see if that works. Still nothing (and during these
tests VMWARE was NOT active so there is no conflict). The dmseg says
the following:

Thanks in advance.
