Check if the drive letter assigned to the CD drive is still visible. if not you'll need to check from device manager if the hardware entry for the cd drive is still there.
If there is a device manager entry, I'll say you possibly have a dirty cd-rom lens - try an optical lens cleaner. If that doesn't work, you might have a faulty cdrom drive hardware altogether. Also check if you're not able to read all CDs at all or just some specific CDs.

@ poster, dnative's suggestions should answer your question.  I'd bet my last buck that your CD drive is defective, which in this case you will need to have it replaced.  On the other hand, You'll want to try the last suggestion dnative offered because sometimes certain CDs will just not work on some drives.  Try another brand of CD just to eliminate that option.  Peace!
