Check your boot messages with something like 

      dmesg | grep -i 'cd.*rom'

and see if you get a line like

      hde: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache

If some different device is mentioned, adjust your mount command
accordingly.

p.s. next time, paste the command and the response into your message.
