Answer 2

Check if autoplay is disabled (if it is, the autoplay window will not pop up), start->my computer and see if the disk drive is showing a music cd has been inserted.

Try that cd in a home stereo. If it does not work there, it's a bad disk.

It is also possible the drive is dead, but autoplay being disabled or a bad disk is more likely.

Answer 3

did you disable the drive? try checking device manager on your laptop and see if it's there and troubleshoot. I always find that helps... or of course, reboot the computer and start again...
