I backed up lots of my pictures, music, and documents onto disks using Windows Vista’s native CD/DVD burner. When I put the discs into my laptops CD/DVD drive it says:
UDF Volume - KDE Daemon
A new medium has been detected
Medium type: Unmounted CD Writer
When I choose to open in a new window, I get an error in Konqueror saying:
mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
I’ve searched for the problem and it seems Linux can’t read discs using the UDF filesystem. I’ve installed UDFtools in Yast but the problem still remains. I have a Phillips DVD-RAM SDVD8821 with OpenSUSE 10.2 running KDE.
Is there anyway I can get Konqueror to read the discs?
When searching through the forum I found a few other unreplied queries about UDF discs. Are they completely unreadable in Linux? Any help or advice would be great.

According to your initial posting in this thread it’s at /dev/hdb :-p

Thanks, but when I try that I get the following:
mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Did you follow that advice?
What does your syslog say?

/var/log/messages would be the best bet. Alternatively, the dmesg
command will work on openSUSE too, but you’ll want to capture its
output in a file for perusal, like so:

Installing udftools might solve your problems - afaik it worked for me in
10.3. Just checked 11.0: udftools is not installed by default.

Googling for that message reveals several complaints about Vista-burnt
CDs/DVDs not being readable by non-Windows systems such as OSX or Linux.
Apparently MS invented a new incompatibility. One proposed workaround
was to tell Vista to not use the latest UDF version but the second
latest.
