My CD shows "TRACK01.CDA"

[Bill Horne]

Chris,

It's NOT an audio CD. It's the first disk from the RH 7.1 Deluxe Workstation set, which someone copied for me.

The problem is that it's apparently being *mistaken for* an audio CD by Windows 98.

If I mount it in Linux, I get a lot of Seek BeyondTrack or other IO errors, although I'm able to copy the boot images after a couple of tries, and I can see the file listings OK.

Long story short: it looks like a failed copy of the RH 7.1 Binary Disk One from the Deluxe Workstation Set. Anybody have a way around the problem?
