CD/DVD-ROM Won't Read Discs

After watching a movie last night, I shut down the computer. I woke up this morning and noticed that on the desktop was no longer "The Matrix" mounted DVD, but simply "CD-ROM," as if it were a blank disc. I took it out, put it back in...tried it with a few others. The blank CD-ROM image went away after the third DVD, nothing seems to be mounted, but now it won't read any DVDs.

Any help you can give would be appreciated,

Shaun

When I tried to mount the disc using "mount /dev/hdc" I got the following:

Code:

$ sudo mount /dev/hdc

mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,

      missing codepage or other error

      In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

      dmesg | tail  or so

When I entered "gedit /etc/fstab" I got:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

#

# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>      <dump>  <pass>
