Hi, Anders! Those are the only files on the disk (unless others are somehow hidden). I have konqueror set to show hidden files, so if there are others on the disk they are WELL hidden. ;o)
The CD is a so-called multisession CD. The most common use for multisession is when you have music CDs that also contain data files. But in this case you have one session that is formatted as ISO9660 and one formatted as UDF. The reason for this is that some (all? I'm not sure) windows versions can't read UDF by default, so they include an ISO9660 session thta contains only the drivers needed for reading the UDF session, and the UDF session contains the actual data Linux, by default, will mount the primary session, and so will only see the drivers
You need to mount the CD using the option -t udf. By default it will get mounted as ISO9660 (i.e. regular cdrom), but that won't work if it's a DirectCD/UDF disc.
Sorry to have to ask, but how do I mount the CD using the -t udf option? I don't think I've ever manually mounted any devices, so I am not familiar with the protocol/command.
First determine what your CD device name is. Do this by running "mount" and look at the output to see what is mounted as cdrom. Let's say it's /dev/cdrom. Then you run umount /dev/cdrom mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom the directory in /media could also be called cdrecorder or dvd, depending on what type of device you have You may need to add a session number. For example mount -t udf -o session=1 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom If it doesn't work, try different session numbers, starting from 0
