Solve : CD ROM is not working?

Answer»

CD ROM is shown in MyComputer's drive list, it is there in Device Manager as well and have driver installed properly. But it dont detect CD. Also irrespective of CD inserted or not, when I double click on it, it opens as any other hard-disk drive with no content in it. It is not showing message as Insert disc into drive. Please suggest. I'm no expert but I'll try to give you some ideas to check.
SATA or IDE?
Operating SYSTEM?
Motherboard?
Is it ENABLED in Device Manager?
Is there an LED light on the drive to indicate when it's reading data? Is it coming on?
Thanks for giving time

At the bottom of that window it has a box for Device Usage. In that box it should say "Use this device (enable)".
If it says "Do not use this device (Disable)" click the drop down menu and click the enable option. Then click OK.Yes the correct option "Use this device (enable)" was selectedOne of these may help:
