From what we know so far, the device isn't even in the fstab!
ls -l /dev/cdrom1 gives: 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 9 Oct 19 12:30 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/scd1
Notice how cdrom1 isn't in the fstab. The other cdrom device, the Samsung DVD/CDRW combo, is what the cdrom entry in the fstab will undoubtedly point to.

The Drive is pugged into the USB 2.0 port. It is only a USB 1 device, but it should be backward compatible, Thinking this was the problem I plugged the Drive into a USB 1 port and got the same result...that is I can't mount. When you try to mount it, the drive does spin-up but you get the error messages documented in the above thread.
There is specific info for each device, but it doesn't allow me to copy from it so let me know what information you are looking for and will type it
Well anyway my girl-friend is eager to get out of the house...It is Saturday and all I guess I will have to pick this up tomorrow.
This might help as I was browsing through the logs I found these potential clues?
