[SOLVED]CD not mounting

I received a CD from an vendor that has baby pictures on it. When I insert it into the drive, it does not mount. I know my CD-ROM works. How do I mount the CD within a terminal? This is what I see when I attempt a mount:

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom/
mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only Can only open ‘/dev/sr0’ as read-only NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount ‘/dev/sr0’: Invalid argument The device ‘/dev/sr0’ doesn’t seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

Here is the dmesg:

_[ 4726.219094] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#14 Sense Key : Hardware Error [current] [ 4726.219096] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#14 Add.

Sorry. I finally found the answer on my own. This is what I used:

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom/

In the old versions of Ubuntu (I used 10.10), such CDs were mounted automatically. It would be nice to have the same behavior in Ubuntu-mate. Anybody knows how to achieve this?
