Mandrake allows users to mount or umount a system if they are allowed in the permissions. Userdrake can be edited by su or root to add "floppy", "CDROM" etc to the users permissions. If those aren't shown in userdrake then it's not possible for the user. repeated myself there. Anyway take a look and add your user to the permissions if they are not there.
