Ok run:

sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0; gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

add this line to the end of the file:

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

Save the new file, close gedit and now the cD will mount.

0ev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0
bash: /dev/scd0: Permission denied
steve@SK-T61:~$ sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0; gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/cdrom0': File exists
steve@SK-T61:~$ /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660
user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
bash: /dev/scd0: Permission denied
steve@SK-T61:~$

I don't know if it is fixed or not. I am trying to load Office 2003 now.

Did you even read my previous post, the second piece of code was to be added to the file. If you aren't going to read what people give you then why should we bother....

I am sorry Sir, I really don't know if I did what you said correctly. I am inexperienced with this OS please forgive me.

It's nothing to do with the OS. It's simple reading and following instructions rather than just copyig and pasting what you hope are commands to a terminal and wondering why you don't get the desired effect. If you read what I wrote you will see your error. I suggest you apply this method in life as well. You'll get further.

Please don't reply via mail to Launchpad mail notification but visit directly your question Launchpad site link.
Replying via mail to launchpad message might expose your email address to the net and you will give a lot of spam.

Then answering using mail will result into a confused thread (very long with unecessary replyed info) and you can't
manage your question state.
