Go to Device Manager and see if your CD drive has a yellow exclamation mark on it.

If so, then follow this link http://www.techbug.com/en/?p=4 .

Unlike Ricer, this has worked everytime for me.

You can do a Google search for the problem and you'll get lot's of hits about a hi/lo filters key in the registry. I've never known anyone that found that fix to actually work. Does the CD drive show up in the device manager? Probably not. Does it show up in during the initial POST? Probably yes.
