Is the CDR already mounted?
Hit <alt><F2> to go to the second virtual console, hit <return> for a
shell, and type "mount" to see what's currently mounted. If the CDR is
mounted, type "umount /cdrom" to unmount it. Otherwise, try mounting it
manually:
$ mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdc /cdrom
...should be what you want. Report *exact* errors here.
Peace.
