Input/Output Problem

Also, after you get a cd mounted try copy and pasting from the cd drive to the file browser and your desktop.

And also, do this:
mkdir test
cp -r test test2

Does that work?

Also, check to see if /dev/cdrom is owned by root or by your user account.

I just realized that I can copy SOME of the files from the CDROM, but none of the ones that I really need.
So.

Also, after you get a cd mounted try copy and pasting from the cd drive to the file browser and your desktop.

When I do this, I can see everything in the CDROM, I just can't copy about 6 of the files.

And also, do this:
mkdir test
cp -r test test2

When I do this, it works just fine

The permissions on /mnt/cdrom are as follows
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 2000-05-12 13:33 folder

Not sure what's going on, but what are the extensions for the files you're trying to copy?

And what happens when you try to copy them? Do you get an error message? What file manager are you using?

This is the exact error
cp: reading '/mnt/cdrom/video_ts/vts_01_0.vob': Input/output error
cp: reading '/mnt/cdrom/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob': Input/output error
cp: reading '/mnt/cdrom/video_ts/vts_01_2.vob': Input/output error
cp: reading '/mnt/cdrom/video_ts/vts_01_3.vob': Input/output error
cp: reading '/mnt/cdrom/video_ts/vts_01_4.vob': Input/output error
cp: reading '/mnt/cdrom/video_ts/vts_02_1.vob': Input/output error

And I am just viewing them in Firefox browser

Is this a copy protected DVD you're trying to copy?

[aura2]

Nope

Hi
The only way I've been able to duplicate the error you're getting is with a copy-protected DVD. Maybe you should look more closely on the DVD or on the jacket. Also, I think that some of them probably don't say they are copy protected. What's the name of the DVD you're trying to copy?

Ah, I guess it is copyrighted. I didn't think that it did but sure enough it is.
Thanks preacher for all of your help, sorry it was something i should have picked up a long time ago
