My cd rom is not reading cd - Dell Studio 1558 Notebook

The CD rom is limited to CD's. In order to read a DVD, you will need to install a DVD rom. My suggestion is to get an external DVD Burner - i just bought a Samsung slim external DVD burner that reads / writes CD's and DVD's.
You will have no luck ever reading a dvd in a cd rom.

Then xp will automatically mount the cd-rom.

it sounds like the cd rom driver in windows is not installed correctly try reinstalling the cd rom if that does not work the cd rom needs replaced

Yes, that's what it looks like. Make sure you put this in the right section next time, though.

my acer 4520 cd rom is not working well when i press cd roms butten its not *** out & also in my computer its tht cd rom icon is not showing so plz give me the solution asap....

CDROM drives can only read CDs while
DVDROM drives can read both CDs and DVDs

If you need further clarification please do contact me.

You will need a low profile dvd. Do you want a part and vendor?

the cd you inserted was not compatible with your cd rom. inorder to read all cds you must use cd roms that supports up 60x speed your only have 24x speed thats y it cant read cds that has above 24x.
