"I cant mount my writer" ??? What kind of "writer" and what have you tried?

I take it "assus" is "Asus" your laptop? As opposed to:
http://columbia.thefreedictionary.com/Assus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Assus
http://www.answers.com/topic/assus
... or the video card?

You should know how to post a proper question by now.

Simon is right, we need much more information before we can really help.

Off hand, I would check the permissions of the file /dev/hdc (assuming that's where the cdrom is located). Since its a writer, you'll probably want r/w access to it.

Make sure you're in the appropriate group (probably cdrom).

Is the drive specified in /etc/fstab?

How are you trying to mount it? Are you getting errors? is dmesg reporting anything?
