It's Check CD for defects. I did that but I got that message too. I'll try to burn it again.

To you and and also a general remark to everyone:
If you have trouble booting a cd, if you get errors on boot, if the cd doesn't appear to be bootable and so on. The first thing to do is to check the integrity of the cd. There are two main methods:
- verify the checksum
- verify the burn
Checksums
This refers to the iso image. When ISOs are distributed, distros usually provide checksums so that you can verify that the file on your disk is the same as the file on their server.
To give a concrete example.
from the ubuntu site, here is a mirror for the desktop iso:
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/releases/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
checksums are usually stored in the same directory, so try loading
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/releases/edgy/
In there you see a file called MD5SUMS, open it. Notice the line
Code:
b950a4d7cf3151e5f213843e2ad77fe3 ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
Code:
$ md5sum ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
b950a4d7cf3151e5f213843e2ad77fe3 ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.isoChecking the burn
This method can verify that the iso you burnt on a cd was burnt correctly. It depends on your burn application, in k3b you do it like so:
- Tools > Burn CD Image...
- Check Verify written data
I don't know anything about Fedora, but when I get these kind of errors, it usually means I've got a Package Manager or other software installation thing open, like system updates.
I need some help too....
Whenever I try to mount a CD image, the mount command gives me the error message:
"mount: not a directory"
I've tried using things like cdemu, but since they ultimately boil down to using the mount command anyway, I always encounter the same problem.

Whenever I try to mount a CD image, the mount command gives me the error message:
"mount: not a directory"
Code:
sudo modprobe loop

mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop0

Nah, it's a Warcraft 3 mini image that acts as a sort of crack. It's like the game CD, without the files.
I'm trying to get Warcraft 3 working in Linux, and it works like a dream with Cedega, but I can't get on Battle.net because I have to use a no-cd crack, since i can't mount the mini image like I normally do in Windoze.
So you had the same problem? As in the the same error message? How'd you fix it?

I had the same error message when I was trying to mount a DVD movie image. My solution is not something that works in your case, but you can give it a shot, I burnt the ISO and watched the movie 
Now you are making me confused, I am in the process of acquiring a Warcraft 3 CD to start playing on Battlenet, if you don't succeed, I will abort. However, I read somewhere that WC3 works like a charm on Linux

Okay, here's the deal:
War3 itself works great in Linux with Cedega (and Wine too, by all accounts), but because I can't use the mini-image that I use in Windows, I have to use a cracked exe to get it working. Battle.net recognises that I'm using a cracked version, and doesn't let me connect to Bnet.
If you start out with an original Warcraft 3 CD, you'll have no problems, but War3 doesn't like me because I'm using images that I torrented.
