Mount CD ROM in Linux

Use the following commands to mount the cd rom in Linux 3.0 and 5.0

Create a directory under /mnt as cdrom or any named.
use the command as

1. #mkdir /mnt/cdrom ////cdrom directory created under /mnt.///




2. #mount /mnt/cdrom to mount the cdrom





3. #mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

If getting error message that device file not found then use

Check that weather the hard drive is hda or sda using the fdisk command.

#fdisk -l ///it will display all the partion in hard drive with hda or hdc or sda.///

///comment///




4.#mount /dev/sda /mnt/cdrom



If getting error message that can't find in vi/etc or /fstab then edit the fstab file as

#vim /etc/fstab
///add a line for mounting the cdrom in fstab///

/dev/sda /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults 0 0

/// save and exit from vim editor///





5.#mount /dev/sda /mnt/cdrom

6.#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Now the cd drive is mounted,
To use the cd drive use the following

#mount /dev/sda /mnt/cdrom
#cd /mnt/cdrom
#ls





Some another method that we can use to mount cd drive

#mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

#mount /media/cdrom

#mount /media/cdrecorder

#mount /media/dvdrecorder


Summary:

#mkdir /mnt/cdrom

#mount /mnt/cdrom

#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

#mount /dev/sda /mnt/cdrom
