try entering a terminal
su to root
type: linuxconf [enter]
click Filesystems
click Access Local Drive
Click on each device that you wish to change permissions for: /dev/fd0, /dev/cdrom,
etc...
click Options
make sure that "user mountable" has a check next to it..
You should also leave (or put) a check next to each of the options that begin with the
words "not" or "No" (security reasons).
Did this help?
