OK. My guestimate is that you somehow screwed up things in a serious
way. The fact that you get "No medium found" when you are in /media is
certainly not standard. /media should be a directory for other
directories. Now it looks like you try to access e.g. /media/floppy
without a floppy in it.

What I would do is make all subdirectories like /dvdredoder, cdrecorder,
floppy, ...

What do you have as l;ines that point to /media.... in /etc/fstab?
