Here's the deal:
There is a cd in the drive, and I want to access it.
[anv@localhost anv]$ cd /mnt/cd
cdrom cdrom2
[anv@localhost anv]$ cd /mnt/cdrom
[anv@localhost cdrom]$ dir
[anv@localhost cdrom]$
The system doesn't recognize that there is a cd in the mount.
Do you see now what I mean?`Same thing with both drives.
on linux system you have to first mount a removeable media to access it. this is done like:
bash$ "mount /mnt/cdrom" enter. (or cdrom1)
there is a file /etc/fstab - there are the rules how to mount what mountpoint(/,/mnt/cdrom) on which devices (/dev/dha,/dev/hdc).
you should really read a crash-course for linux ;-)
yes. if you are in X it might just be a leftclick at your mouse to choose a drive you want to mount. you have to "umount" the drive if you want to take the cd out. normal harddisk also get mounted (at boottime).
BTW: you don't have a cd-r/w/dvd-/+r/w mounted while writing do it.

Nautilus must be a piece of crap-software, cuz the options in it are really limited, can't even leftclick in the filetree. What software do you use to administer your files?
dude, nautilus kicks ass, but anyways you go to the desktop, left-click, goto discs, and select the drive and it will mount it. if its not there, its not in /etc/fstab
