I can confirm this bug. I found a problem with fstab after a fresh install of HH 8.04. A CD Rom drive was being mapped in fstab to /dev/sdb1 inappropriately.
To check and see if this is happening to you type:
Save fstab and reboot your computer. I have tested this on my own machine and the CDRom still works and USB drives will mount normally after the changes.

To check and see if this is happening to you type:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
If you see the last two lines looking like this:
/dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto, exec,utf8 0 0 exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,
The solution is to comment out the line that begins /dev/sdb1 and change the mount point like so
#/dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto, exec,utf8 0 0 exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,
Save fstab and reboot your computer. I have tested this on my own machine and the CDRom still works and USB drives will mount normally after the changes.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
