one thing you could look at is mounting by hand from the console.

First check that /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdrw exist ( ls /mnt )
if they do then just try the basic 

#> mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom
#> mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrw

see if that works. We are all assuming that hdd, and hdc are the devices
in the dev folder, but that may not be true. Can you give a listing of
Dmesg??

Have a good one
