mount /cdrom

would mount a data cd on /cdrom if your symbolic link for /dev/cdrom is set 
properly. Unfortunately, you probably don't yet know enough to ask the right 
question to get the answer that will help you.

You would almost certainly benefit from some newbie help files, like:

http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/peripherals/cdrw.html
http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Hardware/Adding_an_IDE_CD-Writer_to_Linux.html
http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Filesystems/Filesystems_Directories_and_Devices.html

Give them a try, and feel free to post further questions here.

Hope this helps,
