Just open ED and edit the CD0 archive (it is normally inside the DEVS/DOSDRIVERS drawer).

The archive is the mountlist, just edit the unit= value to reflect the real one on the CD unit.

You didn't say which Amiga or which kind of CD you are using for this (IDE or SCSI), nor the Workbench version.

It is a towerised 1200 using WB 3.1 it is a ide device and i have no idea where the unit number is on the cd player i cannot see anything at all

Just change the number on the end of the line that reads "Unit ="

Start at 0, save the file and reboot. If it doesn't work then repeat wit the next number in sequence - eventually you will find the right number (usually 2 or 3)

IDE devices only have two options: master or slave.

Since normally the HD is the master, set the CD drive to slave and then edit the CD0 archive to "unit = 1".

Yes thanks i know i can edit the cd file till i eventually get it right but what i cant do is the device type and is there any other proggies that support like atapi device or scsi device or ide device that i need somewhere else

The Amiga IDE is called SCSI.device.
