After
inserting the CD into the CD-ROM drive when prompted, the CD is not
recognized. Any number of the following conditions may cause this
issue: wrong CD is used, CD needs cleaned, CD-ROM drive settings
require changes, or the CD-ROM driver is corrupted, outdated, or the
wrong one. By completing the procedures that
follow, the CD-Read issue may be resolved. Begin with item one and
proceed through the list.
- Verify that the correct CD is being used when prompted to
insert the CD.

soap on the shiny side of the CD. Using your fingertips and warm
water, gently rub the soap on the CD in a circular motion. Rinse
the CD thoroughly and dry it using a clean, soft T-shirt or
lint-free towel. Do not use paper towels or tissue paper.

- Return to the desktop and right click on the My Computer
icon.

on the Performance tab in the Systems Properties window.
- Click the File System button and click the CD-ROM tab.
- Locate Optimize Access Pattern For:.

and select the No Read Ahead option.

In the Systems Properties window (found in Step 3 above), click
the Performance tab. Verify that the File System reads 32-bit.
(If it reads anything else, contact the computer manufacturer
for installation of the proper CD-ROM or hard drive drivers.)
- Verify that the most current version of the driver for the
CD-ROM drive is being used. Contact the computer manufacturer
for additional information.
- Try to use a different disc in the CD-ROM drive to see if it
can be read.
- If possible, insert the CD that is not recognized into the
CD-ROM drive of another computer to see if the issue remains.
