  This is most likely because you are trying to access the device
as a normal user.  But as you can see, you don't have any access to
the device as a normal user.

  You have two options, as root do:

chmod o+rw /dev/hdd

  Which will give everyone read/write access to /dev/hdd, or 
alternatively you can add all users that are to have access to
the cdrom as members of the group 'disk'.
