Oracle Linux DVD wont mount

JimboJan 7 2013 — edited Jan 13 2013

Hi, I am trying to mount my Oracle Linux 6-2 bootable disk that I installed from in order to manually copy off the packages directory onto the server ( to create a local YUM repository )

I have checked the DVD in my windows laptop and can see the packages folder ( so I know the DVD is iso9660 format ) however when I do the following on my linux server -

mkdir /cdrom
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom

I get the following -
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

when I do dmesg | tail I see

isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16
attempt to access beyond end of device

any idea of how to resolve this ?
Jim
