CD-RW mounted like this only works as CD(IDE).  You need to use SCSI
emulation mode to get it as Read/Write.  This is FAQ.

Well, unused CD-RW disk is blank (unformated).  Besides, this is not
like floppy where you write it randomly.  You use "mkisofs" to create
disk image and you use "cdrecord" to write it into CD-RW. 

I know there are some SF.NET projects which aim to use CD-RW as R/W file
system, but thst is beyound normal usage.

I hope you read some other chapters of my Reference to get used to Debian
basics.  Debian requires fine grained attention to the details but it
will not do anything behind you.  You are in-control and responsible :)

I think this is your X configuration issue but I can not tell from this
short report.
