Not necessarily.  You would see the . and .. for the mount point
directory without anything mounted.  Does it show up with "df"?

I'd try mounting from the command line and let "mount" figure out the
filesystem:

mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

One question to a customer/e-mail. :-)

You don't want to check the filesystem so change "1 2" to "0 0", and
should be able to pass username/password if you don't mind having them
in fstab.  Dont think you want both "user" and "owner" - from "man
mount":

        The owner option is similar to the user option, with the
        restriction that the user must be  the owner  of  the  special
        file.

Perhaps:
//michelle/Root_C  /mnt/michelle  smbfs  rw,user,owner,suid,exec,umask=0000,uid=summersd,gid=summersd, username=windowsuserename,password=windowspassword 0 0

and "chmod 640 /etc/fstab"
