OK, you say it's on a separate cable, then it's almost certainly either /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd. So try, logged in as root in a bash session...
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /mnt mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdd /mnt df Can you show the result? If the cd is working, and connected on the secondary ide channel, then one of the above mount commands should have mounted the cd at /mnt.
