If it has taken up a lot of your time already, then I suggest you just
re-install your O/S or restore it to factory defaults. I can't think of any
option in Windows that will, by principle, disable your ability to browse
CD's. If I recall correctly, this is a new laptop to which you want to copy
data from your old computer (in which case formatting would not be
disastrous).
Has the CD drive ever been accessible? If not, then I suggest you just set
the laptop up with Linux. If you can play DVD's off the drive, the hardware
definitely works. The system perhaps does not recognise the drive. If it
has been like this since day one, contact the seller/vendor.
