Cristian Gary,
i've grouped it into plugdev.

Richard,

After i type this command "/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom      auto      noauto,ro,user     0 0" it shows:

                bash: /dev/cdrom: Permission denied
i've login using root account. i've right clicked at the cdrom to see the properties and under Permissions tab the Owner column stated unknown and i tried to change the Access column to Read and Write it popup "The permisions could not be changed"



Regards,
Norman
