1. need to reinstall the driver
2. update the driver
3. run a virus scan of your computer to make sure your driver wasn't infected.
let me know what's up.

Did the CD drive work before?
You can try resetting the bios to default settings, or remove the bios battery completely from the motherboard for a minute or so to reset the bios.
If that doesn't work, try swapping the IDE cable if you have one.

After you put the battery back in, restart the computer and get into bios. Check to see if you can change the boot order.

if you are running under windows XP, which i'm guessing you are, then check to see if your CD ROM driver wasn't accidently uninstalled. go to Start, Control Panel, System, then click on the Hardware tab, and then on Device Manager. Once in this you should be able to see your CD/DVD or just CD ROM driver. Look to see if any red X's are next to it or yellow "!" marks. if any of these are there, then you either...
