Do you mean you want to read the the content of the CDrom device on your PC?
a) use the mount tool in TCL
b) or open a terminal and put the command "mount   /mnt/hdc" (see diverse FAQs etc. in this forum or read the installation advice in  http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html)
You can read now the content via the file manager.

Hi vishrut_n_shah
Type  cat /etc/fstab  in a terminal and look for a line that contains  iso9660. Find the
part that says  /mnt/xxxx  where xxxx is something like hdb1 or sdc1. Then type in
sudo mount /mnt/xxxx

A CD with an iso9660 fs would normally not be partitioned, so there would not be any partition number as part of the device node name (e.g. hdb or sdc).

Edit: Upper is fully valid only for IDE/ATAPI drives, in case of SCSI (-emulated) drives there may be a number which refers to the drive, e.g. /dev/sr0, /dev/sr1

Try something like:

Code: [Select]

sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom && sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/XXX /mnt/cdromwhere XXX is the name of your device.

Hi vishrut_n_shah
Type  cat /etc/fstab  in a terminal and look for a line that contains  iso9660

Looks like in most systems an automatically generated filesystem entry in /etc/fstab for optical and floppy drives would be of type "auto" - as the filesystem on removable media could change at any moment   ;)

Is it a SATA drive? My IDE/ATAPI on TC 3.5 looks like this (/dev/hdd):

Please note that removable media is not automounted, you have to mount and umount manually. You can use eject command also.

A USB drive would show as /dev/sr* here (with recent Linux systems).
