How are you trying to mount the cdrom? From the GUI interface or from the command line.
You might want to check your fstab file in /etc, to check to see if your cdrom is in this file. You might want to check also if you have a /cdrom directory in your /mnt directory, if not create it. Then you can try this at the command line:
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
# cd /mnt/cdrom
# ls
If you don't get any errors from the first line, then you cd into the directory, and then you can ls to browse the contents of your CD.
