My CD shows "TRACK01.CDA"



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?
