I would start checking cables, possably replacing the data cable.
The CDROM drive might be dirty.
If you have more than one drive try changing the order on the data cable.
Make sure the jumpers are set properly.
Will another drive read the disk you are using?
I hope these ideas will help.
Check your ide drivers in your device manager. If you have the Nvidea ide drivers, roll them back to the original windows drivers.
go to cmos and set cdrom to be first bootable disk. then click to start windows with cdrom support. ensure your cdrom is working ok. also ensure that your xp disk has autorun installed (some do not). Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!
A CDROM is a disc that contains data and computer software like video gaming. Computers can read the CDROM it is a read only memory and cannot be written on.

Nope... the data on a DVD-ROM is packed much tighter. A CD-ROM cannot read DVD's but a DVD-ROM can read CD's

CDROM drives do not get infected with virus. May be there is a driver problem. You can first run one of the free anti-virus like AVG and enable your CD ROM drive if you want to reinstall OS from a CD/DVD. - Neeraj Sharma
A CDROM drive is neither an input device or an output device. A CDROM drive is a storage device.
