Give the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. There should be an entry for cdrom there.
You can use apt-cdrom cmd to add the remaining extra cd's of Debian OR edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to enable debian stable repos.
Using apt-cdrom is easy
*www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-cdrom
or for graphically enabling extra cd-roms use synaptic's>settings>Installation media>add cdrom option.

@saurabhgoogle:debian stable is goood,used mostly for server usage afaik.you can try debian testing/unstable for latest packages though it lacks security updates
