I'll just add (or amplify?) one point -- have you tried a variety of CDs?
Sometimes "burned" CDs, or rewritable CDs (in either case, from some media
manufacturers will not work, yet a "printed" (that is a CD created in a
"factory" by "industrial" methods (i.e., not with CD burning software) will
work.
It would be helpful to know if some CD works va. no CD works -- if some CD
works, then it is presumably not a software / configuration problem -- if no CD
works, it could be the hardware (or hardware related -- e.g., is one of the
cables loose?) to the CD drive.

If you reply: snip, snip, and snip again; leave attributions; avoid HTML;
avoid top posting; and keep it "on list". (Oxford comma included at no
charge.) If you change topics, change the Subject: line.
Writing is often meant for others to read (legal agreements excepted?) -- make
