[olug] Can't mount CD

[Trent Melcher]

Also what speed is the old CD-Rom??  Slower speed CDRoms wont read CD's if
they were burned at high speeds.  I had this problem with my moms PC, she
has an old 8x cdrom, I burned her a cd at 16x and her cdrom couldnt read it.
As soon as a lowered my burn speed down to 8 it read it fine.

Is it a re-writable CD?  Many older CD-ROMS can't read re-writables.  I
believe the required buzzword feature is "multi-read".
I just ran across this problem again a few hours ago...
