Help mounting my CD rewritable drive and floppy drive in KDE desktop

[Enrique Nieves Jr.]

I tried mounting my CD rewritable disk from the KDE desktop by 
right-clicking and following the path - create new -> link to device -> 
CD writer device.  When I successfully place the CD Writer icon on the 
desktop and tried to mount, I got the following error message:

Could not mount device
The reported error was:
mount_cd9660: /dev/acd0 input/output error

I get the same thing when attempting to mount my floppy drive.
Note:  I'm trying to read CDs with jpegs copied from a Windows XP box.

Please help.

Thanks,

Enrique
