Make sure the drive's drawer is securely closed.

Open the drawer and make sure the disc is
properly seated. It should lie flat with the label
facing up.
A foreign object in the drawer could block laser
light from reading the disc. Make sure there is no
obstruction. Remove any foreign object.
Check whether the disc is dirty. If necessary,
wipe it with a clean cloth dipped in water or a
neutral cleaner. See the Disk care section in
Chapter 4, Operating Basics, for details on
cleaning.
Check your config.sys and autoexec.bat files to
make sure they have the necessary drivers and
execution lines.
