First check CD (bad, scratch) Change it... if not OK then then Check Software (like media player, VLC player) re-install it if not OK then... Then check Cable of cd rom (loos connection) in not OK then bring any friend's or neighbor's CD ROM for few minutes and replace... if other CDROM working ok then problem in your CD ROM open cd rom and Check Lance (head) of CD rom... mostly lance not working in these cases.
try to reinstall the device driver of your cd rom, i also have my cd rom but it works with my service pack 3, it may somehow impossible that it wont work unless your cd rom becomes faulty due to power surges, etc.
Is the CD-ROM drive on a separate cable on the second IDE controller on the desktop motherboard? Then the jumper setting can be set to Master or Slave if no other drive is connector to this cable.
If the CD-ROM is also on the first IDE controller and IDE cable as the hard drive then the jumper setting on the CD-ROM must be set to SLAVE because the hard drive would be jumpered as MASTER.
Check the BIOS setting to see if the CD-ROM drive is detected.
If the CD-ROM still does not work after you checked and configured the CD-ROM drive, then is is faulty and needs to be replaced.
your drive is not being read,
have you set BIOS to boot from CD ROM,
is your CD ROM working,

Do the following

2 use another copy of XP/Win98/Vista etc to verify if CR ROM is reading the CDs else...
if you doubt CD ROM drive has a problem....
3 use a USB external CD ROM, and to do that u need to re-set the BIOS to boot from USB CD ROM
Hi,
i cant get you. cd/dvd is not working or cd/dvd rom drive is not working ? To work cd/dvd rom drive properly, Make sure the Jumper settings of the drive is set to slave or else remove all the jumpers from the cd/dvd rom drive, it automatically sets to slave. Check the power cable and the FRC(flat ribbon cable) of the cd/dvd rom drive. Hopefully it should work. Thank you.
CD-ROM not working in Windows 9x, 2000, or XP.
If after cleaning the CDs that do not read you're still getting errors ... If, however, the CD-ROM does not work, refer to the next and final possibility
CD-ROM recieving power but does not work.CD-ROM receiving power but does not work. Issue:. CD-ROM receiving power but ... CDs are read by a laser within your CD-ROM drive
First you want to make sure the CD you are using is good. Try a different CD-ROM, a known good one. If a different CD-ROM is readable then the problem is with your CD media and not the CD-ROM Drive. If another known good CD does not work then the problem is with the drive.
To fix this you must purchase a new CD-ROM drive and install it. Newegg.com has great deals. If you only want to read CDs and are not interested in burning then you can get a name brand CD-ROM drive for around $15.00, but if you need to burn as well the CD+-RW will run you about $30.00.
If you are using Windows XP then it is pretty simple to install the new CD-ROM drive.
