suse 10.0 (gnome/gdm) DVD-R/RW drive not mounting properly it used to


Okay so I had everything working fine in the beginning and now I can't get my optic drive to mount. The best example I can think of is the installation source CD when I place it in the drive to load a software package it keeps asking for the source which I can specify as /media/SU1000_001 and it will work fine, but if I leave the default (which used to work) it says there was a problem mounting it. I am also having an issue with a couple of hard drives which I can access under /windows/<letter> just fine, but there is a reference in computer:/// to all of it, but the CD/DVD is the only one that actually points to anything.

I hope that is descriptive enough to get some feedback.

Help,
James


<Edit>

Okay I think I figured out the problem, but I still need a solution. I switched the position of one of the HDD and the optic drive on the IDE cable a few days ago to make the optic drive a slave and the extra HDD a master on the secondary IDE cable. The optic drive is now hdd and the HDD is now hdc. Now the question is how do I get everything referenced properly?
