Best Answer

It could be that your cd/dvd drive is either not hooked up correctly, or youd do not have the correct driver to run your cd/dvd. First, check to make sure that all wires are in good shape and there are no loose connections. Then, check for the driver component (assuming you are on a PC, not a MAC) by opening the control panel, click on the system icon, and under the hardware tab, choose Device manager. This will show weather or not you have a working driver for your cd/dvd drive. Updates can often be found online for free. If you are using windows, the Microsoft web site may have driver updates, if that's what you need.
