It does seem to be just the desktop manager though as if I type this it wont mount. mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/cdrom already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy but if I type mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o ro it does mount. Which was making me think somehow there is a file not entered properly or something isnt being read properly on how to mount the cd drive normally or through the manager. Thats just my take on what I think seems to be happening anyway. I'm using KDE. Thanks
