It is possible that somehow the registry is set to disable mounting removable media drives (I use it to prevent USB thumb drives on the work pcs, but it will stop a CDROM too). That particular registry key is as follows (you can cut and paste from the "Windows Registry..." line until after the key/dword value into a file and merge):
Enable: USBStorON.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR]
"Start"=dword:00000003
Disable: USBStorOFF.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR]
"Start"=dword:00000004

Same problem here. Typical windows CRAP that they'll never fix. Trash Windows and install a new operating system...

You still using Windows XP then David? TThat would be your problem, right there. Take your own advice, install a new operating system - Windows 10 for example...
