Can you go through Gnome-control-center and tick the option related to what to do with CD/DVD when inserted? Not too sure but I believe the option under Gnome-control-center is something like auto-start applications.

i found that, thanks. I think, for now, I am going to put this down to a hardware issue. I will experiment with the cable and cleaning or replacing the drives. If I remember correctly, both drives even had problems under Windows 7.

You know, I only just thought of it. Sorry for not mentioning it earlier, it does seem rather relevant now! But the help gained so far in this thread has been valuable regardless, and I can use it going forward. I will update soon.
