Are you saying you can't access the cdrw, or that 
you can'tuse the file?
If you can't use the file, it's likely that some 
sort of text file got in DOS format instead of Linux. (Dos text and Linux/Unix 
text are different)
Look around for an option in tar that can convert 
text files Somebody can probably explain this better.

I bed u should try easily
mount  /dev/cdrom /mnt

first, if not work try
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt

I'm not so sure with the file type of the cdrom
find out, may be in /usr/doc ..

I just feel the option " -t vfat " 
you used is just not correct because vfat is Windows
file system rather than CDROM file system

You should be able to mount it with just mount 
/mnt/cdrom. I do that all the time.
If that doesn't work, check /etc/fstab to see what 
your cdrom's mount point is.
