CD/DVD-ROM Won't Read Discs


After watching a movie last night, I shut down the computer. I woke up this morning and noticed that on the desktop was no longer "The Matrix" mounted DVD, but simply "CD-ROM," as if it were a blank disc. I took it out, put it back in...tried it with a few others. The blank CD-ROM image went away after the third DVD, nothing seems to be mounted, but now it won't read any DVDs.

Any help you can give would be appreciated,

Shaun

When I tried to mount the disc using "mount /dev/hdc" I got the following:

Code:
$ sudo mount /dev/hdc
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

When I entered "gedit /etc/fstab" I got:

Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
