If you are "in" the mountpoint directory, you can't mount.
It will say "busy".
E.g. C:\ mounts on /dosc, it fails if anything has done
$ cd /dosc
Try logging out of everything possible,
then go to a console screen, say the 3rd one:
hit Ctrl-Alt-F3.
Then, log in as root and type:
# mount /DirWhereCdriveUsedToMountOk
If that still fails, send output of these commands:
$ cat /etc/fstab
$ mount
$ fdisk -l
What RH version and kernel version are you running now?
