mount -t iso 9660 doesn't work

hi,

i am trying to mount my cd-rom (/dev/hdb) on /mnt/cd
with

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cd/
mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

what am i doing wrong?
i thought that iso9660 is the file system type for cd roms

Yes it is. Try mounting it without the -t option.

try mount /mnt/cd. If you have recently upgraded your kernel be sure to reboot.

He said without the t option, not with.
