If there is no /media/cdrom - then you need to create this directory, because it is the mount point for the mount command.
If there is no entry in etc/fstab for /media/cdrom then
won't work because it is a short version of the full mount command that relies on the etc/fstab.
The other problem could be that the permissions for /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd (these probably are your cd & cdrecorder) are owned by root & ordinary users don't have read permission. You need to change this so that you do.
Once you have the right permissions then you can do a mount command:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom

this assumes that you CD drive (/dev/hdc)is the master on the 2nd IDE cable. If you have a cdrecorder as well this might be /dev/hdd, or they could be the other way around depending on how they are plugged into the IDE cable.
Read up on the man page mount and fstab.
