I'm assuming you're using Fedora Core 3, yes? If that is the case then 
you and I are in the same boat with the CD's. this much I know... its a 
permissions problem. I just haven't taken the time to ferret it out yet 
and get it working correctly. you can mount the CD drive as root user, 
but as a normal user you can't. Still workin on this one.

As for reading your XP partition if your XP partition is formatted NTFS 
then you've got to have the support for reading that filesystem enabled 
in the kernel. Mandrake Linux has this support compiled in by default, 
but so far as I've seen RedHat doesn't. You very well may have to 
recompile the kernel to allow you to view the contents of your XP partition.
