Can't mount my CD drive

[Nomad]

My CD drive doesn't mount automatically. When I try to mount it by sudo mount -a, I get the following message:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

dmesg | tail has this to say:

[ 4604.113498] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK
[ 4604.113505] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Medium Error [current]
[ 4604.113510] Info fld=0x10
[ 4604.113512] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error
[ 4604.113517] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 64

And my fstab entry is as follows:

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 defaults,users,noatime,auto,ro,dev,exec 0 0

I think it stopped working around the time I installed KDE4, but I'm not sure. I know it worked before but now it doesn't.

Does anybody know what's the problem here or how can I solve it?

Re: Can't mount my CD drive

Couple of thoughts:

1. You need to put a CD in it before it will mount.

2. "auto" should work for the filesystem type in /etc/fstab

3. Hardware sometimes gets sick, or dies ....

There was a CD in it. Harware isn't sick or dead because the same CD in the same drive works fine under windows. I'm on windows atm (to watch a DVD), so I'll try setting filesystem to auto when I get back to Kubuntu.
Thanks for the reply.
