I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the drivers - in
Device Manager the CD drive icon has an exclamation mark
over it. The driver is corrupted. Uninstalling it makes
no difference - and I can't exactly reinstall it from a
CD, as CD's cannot be run anymore.
It's not just that the machine doesn't read CDs - it no
longer has a CD drive with which to read them.
