Feisty Dell Vostro CD/DVD issue

Please give us more infos:
Open a Terminal from menu Application->Accessories->Terminal and type
sudo dmesg | grep -i dvd-rom
copy and paste the result here

sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Copy and paste your /etc/fstab contents here.

Thank you.

I have done as you have asked, however... It looks as though it scrolled past the top for the dmesg command. The grep command did literally nothing. (I even ran it as root) Here is the dmesg output....
