cant mount dvd on iso9660 format

Hello experts,
Im having the following problem:
I have recorded a data dvd and need to mount it on a linux red hat 4 enterprise server.
But when I run:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder appear the following message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
then I run
dmesg | tail
and appear:
hda: rw=0, want= 18446744073705770472, limit=8831808

Any ideas how to fix it?
Thank you in advance

If dvd you want to mount is what you baught,You need to use libdvdcss.

libdvdcss is only needed to decode the video/audio, not to mount the disk. However, are you sure that the disk is encoded in ISO 9660.

Also, mount it to a directory that you created. Mount the /dev/cdrom or whatever the device is called to /mnt/dvd or some such (after creating a directory called /mnt/dvd).

Yeah, I´m sure

Hello,
Thank for your answers. Yes it is an iso DVD.
I have burned that dvd-data from an xp laptop and I need to see that data on my linux server.
Any other idea?

Thanks

mig28mx,

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder

Its pointing to the wrong media. Are you sure that the /dev/hda is the right DVDrom on your box? Im guessing that the /dev/hda is the first hard disk on your box.

If you want to mount cdrom or dvdrom.

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/<the directory name you want to mount>
