Driver not there - it's not loaded properly - restart the computer
Malfunction - yes you drive is too old to do the work - replace the drive
Communication problem - data or power cable is loose - open the case and press the 2 ends firmly together
Bad files - that happened when you burnt your disc - you have to be sure you have the back-up files to burn another one/or the format of your disc is not readable by your CD-ROM drive - some brands are more powerful to read more formats than the others
Hardware not connected??? Did you map your drive properly?
You should read this first (don't worry, it CAN be fixed easily)

... and if you still have a problem just go to microsoft.com and do a search like "CD-ROM issue" "unreadable CDs"

Sounds like your CD rom might be dead. But open the system check the power and Data cable to make sure that they have not come unplugged. When you restart try reloading the driver from disk or website of the manufacturer.
And if you know how you can go into the boot menu and make sure that the cd rom is not turned off ( Start the computer and press delete before it start up ) " Make sure you knwo what you're doing before you go into this menu though cause you can turn your PC into a paperwieght" Good luck

Problems reading and writing CDs are common. In many cases, the problem cn be solved by checking the PC with free software, hardware modifications and cleaning the CD drive. I found the information at http://fixit.in/cdrdrive.html useful.
