problem mounting/umounting dvd-rw & cd-rom drives

[bionnaki]

hello. I have asked this question in a few other forums but I have yet to solve this problem.


Whever I try to mount both my dvd-rw and cd-rom drives, I get this message:

mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only

and when I attempt to umount it via right-click>umount, I get:

Could not unmount device.
The reported error was:
umount: only root can unmount /dev/cdrom from /mnt/cdrom/

how can I fix this?

here is a copy of my fstab if it's necessary:

# Begin /etc/fstab

# filesystem mount-point fs-type options dump fsck-order

/dev/fd0 /floppy auto rw,exec,noauto,users 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom/ iso9660 noauto,user,rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs notail,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 /home reiserfs notail,noatime 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd iso9660 noauto,user,rw 0 0
/dev/sda1 /external reiserfs defaults,user,noauto 0 0

thanks
