[newbie] Got everything else to work but still no CDRW

I'm haveing problems accessing the CDRW on a recent install of Mandrake 7.1 on a 166Hz pentium with 64 meg ram. When I try to open the folder I receive the following message-Could not list directory contents file:/mnt/cdrom. Yes a CD is in the drive and yes it is a data CD the Linux mandrake 7.
