Do a system restore and then if that doesn't work run your anti-virus and anti-spyware in Safe Mode. (F8 tapping continuously while booting).

What OS do u run ur pc on??\nTry scanning ur PC for hardware changes and if that does not work, goto your hardware - device manager and select ur CD/DVD drive, try to reinstall the driver from properties option. \nIf ur system is W9x or lower goodluck.\nALso have you tried to clean ur CDRW drive?

Try cleaning it with special CD Rom cleaning kits.  They are a CD that you insert and just push play.  This fixes my CD problems most of the time.  If this does not work take it to a technician.

Either the CD is faulty (perhaps it wasn't finalised correctly) or the drive is.\n\nTry a lens cleaning cd first (you can purchase this at most PC and electronics stores).  If that doesn't work, try the CD in another drive (maybe on another PC).  If you still can't read it, then the CD is faulty.

Revenra, i sincerely suggest that u take it to repair. I am almost certain that the CD ROM is faulty. The better way would be to install a new CD ROM Drive instead of trying to repair the one that ur using now. The reason is when i CR ROM gets damaged, and even if it is repaired it usually will not last longer. So buy a high quality CD ROM Drive and install it...\n\nIf u still want to try to see if u can fix it by ur self, try to use a lens cleaner. But i feel that it might just be a waste of time and effort!

Try re-installing the drivers for the drive through the Device Manager in the Control Panel.\n\nIf you are unsure whether you have the drivers go to the manufacturer website and search for your model.\n\nThen you sgould be able to download the drivers with instructions on installation.

You probably need to install the driver for the modem that should have come with it on a CD.  If it is a new modem, the install should be relatively straight-forward.

The first answer is not true. What you may need to do is replace the EIDE or ATAPI cable with a new one, and check if the power is connected okay.\nHaving done that, put a CD in the drive and open My Computer. There should be an icon with a picture of a CD-ROM.

First try running a System Restore. If that doesn't work you will have to boot to the Windows CD and run a "repair installation".

Did you install information from installation disc for driver? It wont work otherwise. This has to be done first before you plug in anything. It will find data lead but wont find camera. I have my phone connected to my comp and it works perfect. So check the disc. if your not sure re-load the disc and re-install.

If it's windows xp, boot with the windows cd and repair windows. Or uninstall all the device drivers and reinstall them.
