To my best knowledge, cdparanoia is _solely_ for extracting audio tracks.
If the CD on /dev/cdrom has a data-session it usually can be mounted in
the following way (make sure /mnt/cdrom exists):

# mount /dev/cdrom -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom

To view its contents:

# cd /mnt/cdrom

# ls

To copy it elsewhere:

# cp -R /mnt/cdrom /root/copy_of_cdrom

And finally to unmount (make sure not on /mnt/cdrom anymore, as
otherwise the next one fails to "device is busy"):

# umount /mnt/cdrom

In some special cases like DVD:s, copying with "cp" might not be
possible. In those cases, use something like

# cat MISC1.VOB >/root/MISC1.VOB

separately to all "defective" files.
