mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read only

Asked by bbarac in Linux Setup, Linux Administration, Red Hat Linux

Tags: device, block, mounting

I am trying to mount a cdrom in linux RHE3 that's running on ESX 3.0.1 server, I am able to mount the cdrom by using the command mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/.....  and the cd mounts and I can see the file but after mounting I get the message "mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read only"  How do I fix this????? I can't seem to be able to copy any files from the cd due to this message.
