Now it says that there is a "read-only" filesystem, which I cannot edit. I tried logging as superuser, and remounting the partition with -rw. Oddly enough it says that this perticular partiton is a /CDROM drive when I try the mount command. Anyone know how to fix this?

Post the output of fdisk -l command and contents of /etc/fstab file.
