mount cdrom

[divinequran]

wen i mount cdrom i get following error? how to overcome it? please help.

 

mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

 

I am able to mount other cd's. The os mounts those cd's automatically

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom

Thanks, i tried with the command but i get the following error

 

mkdir cdrom

 

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom

 

mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

 

dmesg gives following error message
