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"
