CD ROM and Floppy prob.

[Trigger-X]

Hello,
The problem is when I try to put a CD it dosent ever now it is in my CD-ROM, I have an CD-Writer and DVD/CD-ROM and I tired the audio CD in both and it dosent work in the CD Player, I also tried to click the little CD-ROM icon on desktop and it said this when I have my CD in the drive and out of the drive:
Error:
file:/mnt/cdrom
You do not have access rights to this location.
It gives me the same message for the Floppy drive too. I have Mandrake 7.2 also. I think it reconginzes my CD-ROM and Floppy too, I thought I saw the thing when it starts up and says it does... But then again not sure. I have heard something about you have to put the CD in then mount it? What does that mean? If someones knows what I'm doing wrong please tell me. :confused:
Thanks for you time.

If this is a fresh install of Mandrake 7.2, look here; http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Tutorial/CDburner/

Make sure your username is added to the list in the read/write group in /etc/group for floppy and cdrom.
