this fix worked for me: Re: 9.04 cannot mount CD/DVD drive. retiredtechie I finally got mine working by editing fstab after finding the fix in a google search.
Code: sudo gedit /etc/fstab <password> # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=97f48878-4b54-484c-8a4e-4fa11aa9c2fc / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=9f6f9e31-e4ff-4dd6-8622-a8d26b433d5f none swap sw 0 0 # Original setting /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 Note the /dec/scd0 line above. Exchange the positions of udf,iso9660 like this: Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.

I think you may have to reboot to make it work, can't remember.
