As a totally wild guess, maybe it's /dev/sr1? (see the line immediately
above).

you could also open a terminal and type "mount" to see if it actually
got mounted, and if so that would also show both the device and the mount
point.

if it did get automounted, the default behavior would be to both (1)
put an icon on your desktop, and (2) open a browser window into the root
of the filesystem on that device.

so if you don't see those things on the desktop, and it doesn't show in
the output of 'mount', I'd guess it didn't get mounted, indicating some
as-yet-undiagnosed problem.
