We need an actual error message. I know: you're using a pointy-clicky thingy. Get to a command line and try: $ mount /dev/hda Give us the error. Try removing the udf part of the fstab entry. Perhaps its getting confused. A normal CD should be iso9660. Install the package cdck and run it on the cd. It doesn't need to be mounted: it tries to read the whole CD and checks for problems at the bit-on-the-media level. Give us the output of any commands you run.
