USB CDRW problem - HP CD-Writer+ 8200 series

I am having problems getting a USB CDRW drive working. I am using Ubuntu 
v6.06 and the drive is an HP CD-Writer Plus 8200 series.

I am new at this so maybe I am looking at the wrong device?

I assume it should be /dev/sda ?

How do I go about getting it to mount automatically when I insert a cd?

I am also trying to use it with GRip but it is not working.
I have GRip set to use /dev/sda

I read about using "hotplug" but do not see that listed in synaptic.

Any suggestions?
