CD-R Mounting Problems (VL 7 light) [SOLVED]

[Kyrt]

So this computer was mounting disks fine in multiple linux distros I tried before installing VL, but now... when I load a blank CD-R it gives me the following

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Naturally I tried dmesg | tail  next, and this is what it gave me

root:# dmesg | tail
[ 9603.961483] FAT-fs (sr0): unable to read boot sector
[ 9738.763610] sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0]  Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08

[10169.078680] isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16

I've done some searching and seen people run into similar problems, but nothing that exactly matches my issue and I failed in my efforts to adapt the solutions I did find to my problem.

If anybody can help I'd really appreciate it, VL7-light is running like a champ, but it won't let me mount my disks for reasons that remain a mystery to me.

You say it's a blank, writable disc? Are you trying to burn to it?

[Kyrt]

That is my intention yes. I confirmed the problem wasn't the disk itself, three disks from a set that had been working just fine all gave the same exact message.

EDIT: ok, now I feel like a real noob >.< I tried burning and it went fine. There was no actual file-system to mount on the blank disk and I'm not used to an auto-mounter giving that kind of message on a blank disk. I uh... am going to chalk this up to VL being my first slack-based distro.

But hey I may not be the only one to make that mistake, so hopefully others can find my thread before they start jumping through hoops like I did
