Open a terminal => type "su" and then put in your root password => type
"mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom" => double click on HOME, and then click
the down arrow until you're in the / directory, find /mnt, double click
that, then double click on /mnt/cdrom => you should now see your
stuff...

When you want to unmount that drive, in the same term you just had open,
type "umount /dev/cdrom" or "eject"

It would appear that for some reason, your automount is not working
correctly...so this is only a hacked fix - not a perm fix...
