Comment 17 for bug 94119

I am also having the same issue as users above on Gateway Laptop MX6550
But I am able to mount drives in VMware session running XP

Current work around to copy files from VMware session into temp directory.

howard@M3rX:~$ sudo mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so

howard@M3rX:~$ dmesg | tail
