unable to mount cd rom

[anoopm101]

hello goodday
i am a beginner in linux and i have installed fedora 14
i have problem in mounting the cdrom
blank cds are not mounted
tried a fedora live cd, its mounted
because of this i am unable to burn cds
requesting help

Blank CD's are not mountable as they do not have a filesystem on them.
If you want to burn CD's you may use:
k3b, brasero

Feel free to ask questions, after all, thats what forums are for If you want to learn linux on an easier distro then two that are pretty good for beginners are PCLinux OS and Linux Mint.
