I don't use Ubuntu so don;t know the standard anmswer 
there but it will depend on where the CD is mounterd.

I usually mount cdroms on /dev/cdrom

But I don't use a standdard distro so set up the mount 
myself (based on where I did itr when I had a Sun 
workstation!).

If you have access to the Linux box can you use a 
file mamnager type program to see where it is mounted?
