i burned some backup dvds of data on my harddrive. i cannot seem to read
them now. i can play copied movies. df,ls and du work on the dvd's. when
trying to copy a file the result is either 0 or 65536. it is mounted as
iso9660. i have tried many mounting options. its a dual dvd drive. it
writes cd's and dvd's(+ and - dvds). i have tried google/linux with no
help, seemingly. tried mounting as a ext2 and it said error and mounted it
as iso9660. tried mounting as dvd and cdrom but the same thing happens.
some output below.
help please,
rob hall
this is what happens when trying to copy a file
***

this is a grep of 'hd' on dmesg, nothing else was relevant. there were 70
of these i think, here is first and last
