    What is the output of this
    Code:
    su -c hdparm -I /dev/cdrom
    ?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    $ su -c hdparm -i /dev/cdrom
    su: invalid option -- 'i'
    Try `su --help' for more information.

    Try it with proper su - instead of su -c.
    Code:
    su -
    hdparm -I /dev/cdrom
