Ok, let's see if you can fix the devices so that your user has access to 
them also.  Open a shell and type:
ls -l /dev/cdrom (or dvd or cdrecorder) 
If you have more than one do each one and post the results.

Your devices should be pointing to either /dev/hdc or hdd or hdb, 
however you have the drives installed.  If they do indeed point to one 
of those, then do the ls -l /dev/hdb or hdc or hdd as well and post the 
results.

My /dev/cdrom (dvd or cdrecorder) point to /dev/hdc & hdd.  
The /dev/cdrom is owned by root   root, while the /dev/hdc is owned by 
<my username>  disk.  Do not make yourself a member of the disk group 
though, it's not needed and could prove to be harmful as user!
