MrStaticVoid Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Question 1. You can create an ISO of the disk simply by $ cat /dev/hdc > cd1.iso Just replace /dev/hdc with your cdrom drive. You can then mount that by $ mount cd1.iso /mnt/cd1 -t iso9660 -o loop Question 2. XMMS doesn't support smb, the proctcol used to connect to Windows. What you can do is mount the samba share like # mount //compname/sharename /mnt/sharename -t smbfs -o username=whatever Then you can load the music from /mnt/sharename. Easy, eh?

MR_Candyman Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 XMMS question solved...but I think for the ISO one it wasn't... Swapping sisks when MCC is downloading something? *confused* But I know you can make disk images into .cue and .bin files and play it without burning onto cd... for .iso you can mount it as a loopback device. This will give you access to the files in the ISO without you having to burn it to a CDROM first. In order to do this you must have loopback compiled into your Linux Kernel. (Most newer distributions will have this enabled by default). For example if you wanted to mount filename.iso to /mnt/iso you would run the following command: mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted April 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 9, 2004 Not sure of your situation at this point, but if you are still having problems mounting your Windows files into Linux, I have a question: Is this on the same computer, just a different partition? If so, then you don't use the //computername/sharename format. You use /dev/hda1 (or whatever drive partition your Windows files are on. If you are using files on another PC in a home network, you need the computername and the sharename of that Windows PC. You can get the computername by typing hostname at the DOS prompt. You can get the sharename by rightclicking the dirve/folder that you are sharing out (has the hand emblem tacked onto the drive or folder). Hope that helps.
