    Welcome to the forums ruby91. So im taking it that D: drive is your CD drive.
    Right click on my computer and select properties. Then go to the hardware tab and select device manager. If there are any yellow icons by hardware post them. And also see that your CD drive is listed under the CD roms catagory.

    Disk drive catagory refers to your hard drives. What Operating system are you using. Windows 98 2000 etc?

    That is your harddrive. You want CD drives. It is represnted with a Icon that looks like a grey box with a CD drive on top.

    Ur manager should look sumthing like this.

    1.Computer
    2. Disk drives
    3.Display drivers.
    4.DVD/CD-rom DRIVES you want this one

    If that catagory isnt there then your CD drive is not being found.
