Problem seems partially solved as follow;

1) It does not matter whether mounting as root or as user. Using drag-and-drop 
method on 'nautilus' (home, Gnome desktop), following warning will popup;

Warning:
<Error while copying>
"/mnt/cdrom0...orial.html" cannot be copied because you do not have 
permissions to read it.
<Cancel> <Skip>

Clicking either <Cancel> or <Skip> files copied to Debian including directory 


2) If on Console window applying;

$  cp -v -R /mnt/cdrom0/* /path/to/destinated_folder/

No warning popup. All files including directories and subdirectories are 
copied to their destination.

Now how to make copying with drag-and-drop method on 'nautilus' avoiding 
warning popup? This method allows selecting files/directories to be copied 
instead of copying all of them from CDRW.

Kindly advise. TIA
