As I can see, you didn't read the faq about how to post, so here comes the best I can do:

I cant understand even one single phrase, I'm sorry

Hi danielfranklin, can you post up the error you're getting, full thing? It should help us to help you. Don't worry we're not all uber1337 here

slith? How about a wtf? for you? This is a new user, I'm sure they could use some help and support, maybe have a little more tolerance.

No hard feelings. We all get help here, just trying to pass it forward.

It sounds like you haven't yet modified /etc/fstab to allow anyone other than the owner to be able to use the device, as root, open up /etc/fstab and find the line for the cdrom, the line should look like this:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0

you'll want to change that so it includes any users who want to access it:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,owner,ro 0 0

Do the same for the floppy and you should be good to go.

Hope that helps.
