I had a weird problem with my laptop's DVD/CDRW drive, a while back, where it could not read data CDs, but it had no problem with audio CDs or DVDs. It could also burn CDs - and then, strangely, had no problem at all reading them immediately afterwards (but it couldn't read them later on, whereas other CD drives could). I wasn't getting any mount error messages like yours, however - the drive simply couldn't see the media, and didn't think anything was inserted. The problem turned out to be a dirty lens. After I wiped it with a tissue, it worked perfectly.
