Check a file called /etc/fstab. See if there is a line in there that looks something like this: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 0 0. Then check the /mnt directory and see if there is a directory called cdrom. If not add the directory to /mnt. Then type mount /dev/cdrom in the command line. Then you change you directory to /mnt/cdrom. And there you have it.
