I would assume it needs drivers.\nIf it came with a CD, you need to run your CD.\nIf you got it used, and it came with no CD or info, look for a model number on it somewhere and do a google search on that number and see if there are some drivers you can download.\n\nIf your using a USB drive with Windows XP, there's a good chance you don't need to get some drivers. In this case, you need to look at the manufacturer's website.

Try opening it with an unfolded paper clip: There is a small hole just under the CD tray. Insert the unfolded clip until the tray pops out.\nYou probably have a mechanical problem. Check if any foreign objects are in the drive. Although I'm almost sure it will be unusable.

go in the bios and change it  so that your cd drive is the first to be reconized. Shutdown and follow procedure for installing your o.s.  Make sure you are using the right kind of cd.

Dear Friend,\nYou first need to formate the entire disk.\nThen Boot your Computer using windows CD.\nThen there is a Software Segate Disk Manager. Run it. Follow the instructions. \nThere Comes a software with the Windows OS CD F-Disk.\nIt will also do but will take time.

Before buying a new one, try this:  First, check the cables (power and ribbon) to make sure they're seated properly.  Next, using the Device Manager, RIGHT click on the drive that's shown, and choose "uninstall".  Say "Yes" to the next question.  Then re-boot, and if the drive is working, Windows will find it as "new hardware" and install the drivers for it.  If it is still not recognized or not working, then sure, go ahead and purchase a new one.  By the way, you might as well get yourself a DVD drive if you're getting a new one, since it'll handle both DVD's and CD's as well.  Good luck.

You said CD... The install disk is most likely going to be a DVD.  Also check the tech specs.  Your hardware may not be up to speed.

sounds like your missing a driver. Look through you install cd to find it.

depending on what version of windows you are running, you should have a plug & play system. try uninstalling the drive and restarting the puter. let windows install the drive by itself.

If you have a cd, just insert the CD into the CD drive and follow the instructions.  If you downloaded it, double click on the file.

Hi,\n\nAt http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1747010,00.asp\nyou have a guide for doing this. \n\nBelow is the first page. Visit the above link and you will see the complete guide. Visit the link for the complete guide.It is from PC Mag. and a good source of info.\n__________________________________________________\nBuild an XP-SP2 Recovery Disc \n01.12.05 \n \n \nIf you have questions about this article, see the answers to some common questions here: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/pcmag. \n  Total posts: 88  \n  \n\nBy David A. Karp  \nOdds are your PC came with a recovery disc, a CD with all the programs and drivers that were installed on its hard drive when it was new. The odds are also that you have absolutely no idea where that disc is.\n\nThe good news is that it probably doesn't matter. First, the recovery discs provided by most PC manufacturers are designed for a single purpose: to restore your computer to the state it was in when you bought it. This process typically involves wiping your hard drive clean and then reinstalling Microsoft Windows and the handful of programs originally included with your PC. Unless you're preparing the whole kit and caboodle to sell on eBay, this is probably not something you'll ever need.\n\n\nSecond, the hardware drivers on your recovery CD are probably out of date, either made obsolete by newer and better versions available online, or simply irrelevant because of new hardware you've installed.\n\nSo, instead of fretting about the old recovery CD, why not take a few minutes and make one of your own?\n\n*** see site for the rest

usually theres a pin hole in front of the drive.  push a paperclip or similar sized object in and it should pop it open enough to pull it out and get the cd

Well, you could try getting the CD drive's drivers by going to the manufacturer's web site and installing them, and you could download Windows XP SP2 at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx download SP2 install it, restart and then go to http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/downloadinstall.mspx so if there are any new updates that you need, they are brought to you automatically.\n\n\n\nHope this helps!\n-crad010
