[olug] mounting drives in Kubuntu 6.06

[Joe Gulizia]

I'm using Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake.
How can I mount the following devices all 
connected to USB ports?

Yes, I've already RTFMP (Man Pages!) and can't
understand most of it....probably making it harder
than it actually is.


160 GB external hard drive
60 GB external hard drive (it works as sdd1)
1 GB SD card via a 21 in 1 card reader

DVD drive give me....

mount: only root can mount /dev/hdc on /media/cdrom0
Please check that the disk is entered correctly.

CDRW drive gives me....

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected,
mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/hdd,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

dmesg gives me:
