[newbie] {newbie} Unable to mount CDRW

[Lonnie & Marvena]

Hi   Hi! I just installed Mandrake 7.02 and it works great but I thought mounting  a cdrom was automatic?   I have 1 cdrom and 1 cdrw (Smart & Friendly CD Pacer RW2224).  Mandrake installed icons on my desktop for both cdrom and cdrw but the cdrw will not mount.  It is set up as follows /mnt/cdr2,  Supermount and /mnt/cdr2 .  I have been unable to find doc's on this CDRW but am wondering if it is just setup wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated   Thanks  Lonnie
