Normal drive behavior?

I can insert a cd and listen to music from the dvd-rom (hdc) or the 
cd-rw (hdd).  I can write files from the harddrive to disc fine.  But, 
if I have a disc in hdc (intending to copy it), hdd will only mount for 
about a half of a second before disappearing.


I have as hdc:
LiteOn
Model=JLMS XJ-HD166S, FwRev=DS18, SerialNo=
 Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
 RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:227,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2
 AdvancedPM=no
 Drive conforms to: Unspecified:  ATA/ATAPI-5

 * signifies the current active mode

I have as hdd:
Mitsumi
Model=CR-48XGTE, FwRev=1.0K, SerialNo=3G22210886 0175
 Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
 RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=128kB, MaxMultSect=0
 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  sdma0 sdma1 sdma2 mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2
 AdvancedPM=no
 Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 3a:  ATA/ATAPI-6

 * signifies the current active mode
(this much from hdparm)

/etc/fstab only shows hdc:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

In /media there is a cdrom and a cdrom0 (which is only a link to 
cdrom).  Does this mean that they are trying to use the same mount 
point?  How do I fix this?  Shouldn't hdd be in fstab also?

Thanks for any insight.
