[TriLUG] Locked CDROM

[Gnu Man]

Do a little research on the mount command and /etc/fstab.  Those will
tell you everything you need to know on mounting anything.

Yes you are reading the output correct, it does say SCSI.  Linux uses
SCSI emulation for CDRW's.  

If you want to do it the old fashioned way i.e. command line:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom

That should mount a regular cd in your drive, assuming that another
program hasn't automatically mounted it for you.

I always turn that stuff off, because personally I don't want my machine
mounting anything unless I tell it to.  As far as turning that stuff off
in Mandrake, not really sure, but Google should be able to help you.  

Hope this helps.

I have never mount/umounted anything and I am having a hard time getting my CDROM to work, at least with music anyway.  I put my CD in the drive and spins and nothing happens.  I use konquerer to see what is in the drive and it stated that the drive is locked and I do not have access...umm I am root running in graphical mode I think I have all the access I shuold need.  I have tried mount /mnt/cdrom nothing happens and even umount /mnt/cdrom.  This is the output of the mount command:
