To disable cd-rom
simply remove the user from the 'cdrom' group. Then the user should not be able to access it (in user management there is an advanced tab where you can uncheck such option).

or

mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.ko /rootor

Go to System> Admin.> Users and Groups> click Unlock, enter password> highlight a user account> click properties> User Privileges tab> scroll down and uncheck "Use CD-ROM drives"> click OK.

What do you mean when you say you want to disable your CD drive? Do you want to permanently/completely disable it, or just stop it mounting or autorunning discs when you put them in?
