Thank you for your further messages.

Here is the result of the ls command
sh-2.05b$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
ls: /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory
sh-2.05b$ ls -l /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 12 14:01 /dev/dvd -> /dev/cdrom

I have a CDROM, and I have tried different types of CDs, data CDs (such as original CDs provided by software suppliers, homemade one's) and original audio CDs. None of which I could access.
