Cannot Read DVD-ROM automatically


I cannot get data after I insert DVD into DVD-ROM. if i double clik the DVD-ROM Icon it gives error info:

Quote:
Unable to mount media
there is probably no media in the drive
but i can mount DVD-ROM manually under Terminal Mode.

how should i solve it?

What command exactly do you use to mount the media??? Does this match the contents of /etc/fstab for the drive???
