I'm only a newbie, Nader, and I hope others will jump in, but I think there may be two problems. 1 - Are you sure the cd is /dev/acd0a? On my system it is /dev/acd0c. 2 - Are you sure it is ISO 9660? If you merely dragged/dropped in Windows, it may be Joliet (by default). You may be able to check this by looking at the filenames. Do they have long filenames? -- longer than 8.3? If so, it's Joliet. If not, it may still be Joliet. Bring the CD format up in a Window's burning program and click "Properties" to see what format, ISO 9660 or Joliet, the CD has. I'm afraid I'm too much of a newbie to know how to mount a Joliet file system, or even if it can be done.
