Hi Guys

This likely sounds like my prob earlier. Try the following; Open a terminal 
and type these commands

sudo modprobe piix
sudo update-initramfs -u

if you now have the cdrom readable (try inserting something) then edit 
your /etc/modules file and add at the end a line reading "piix" without the 
quotes of course. That last step is to make sure it sticks after a reboot as 
I'm sure you dont want to go thru this every time. This is just a workaround 
for now but for me it works
