[Preston] I've lost my CD Drives !?!

[Databug]

Hello
I don't know how this happened but today i wanted to install something
from my mandrake disks but Mandrake couldn't find them. If I try to acces=
s
the drives from the Konsole I get this:

[root@localhost databug]# /dev/hdc
bash: /dev/hdc: Permission denied
[root@localhost databug]#

I get this for both drives. If I try to access either drives using its
icon I get this:

Unable to enter file:/mnt/cdreader. You do not have access rights to this
location.

I get the same even if I'm root

If I try to access the /mnt/ entry via the shell I get this:

[root@localhost databug]# /mnt/cdreader
bash: /mnt/cdreader: is a directory

I'm not sure what all this means but Linux is pretty much unusable until =
I
fix it. Can anyone please help.
