It occures when you had used your cd from some process and that process is not fully ended. there is -f flag to force umount it..

try that.. !!
Also you can use eject /mnt/cdrom as  I think eject use force umount also ..

For u problem buddy, the drive is busy probably because u r still in that cdrom directory (/mnt/cdrom).

U should do this:

"cd /"

Then only unmount or eject cdrom.
