Answers:
Try this:

Run REGEDIT, open up the following folders:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Class
{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

After clicking on {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right-hand side:
"Upperfilters"
"Lowerfilters"

Click on each of them, press DELETE and click YES.

See how that works for you, if it still has problems of some kind, try this:

Go into device manager and find the cdrom, right click on it and select uninstall.
When it's finished, restart your pc, this will force XP to reload its driver.

Good luck.
