Try to isolate the problem. In case its a desktop (Gnome?) problem, boot up into a regular shell, not graphics. Try to mount the CD-R and DVD-RW and read the filesystem. Try to play a music CD with a text-based cdplayer. If any of this fails, you should get some usefull error messages. If it all works then the problem is with Gnome.
