Then you have no business trying to run Kali. Kali is a VERY targeted distribution and is not suitable for beginners or wanna be script kiddies. Try Ubuntu or Mint.

you need to use the mount command i will not tell you how to do it but i will give you the spirit on how to find out on making it work.to find information on the mount command you can use these commands.
man mount this will show you a manual on the mount command.
info mount this will show youinformation on the mount command.
and because you are a newbie you want to start where newbies start.

and maybe a linux distro that is aimed for newbies.this distro is hardcore and is used to test how secure a network is.by "penetrating" it.isn't that a alternative word for "hacking".and a lot more.
but what i can help you with is in order to be able to remount the cd rom you need to first type sudo init 0 or else you would not be able to get starter.if i remember the password is toor.
