I installed Win 7 Home Premium and I am having trouble spinning up my CD Drives (both of them). They were working under Win XP... If I attempt to install a game, the CD does not spin up. HELP!!!

Are they CD drives or DVD drives??please clarify.
Right click on computer-manage-choose device manager from left side panel.Check if your CD/DVD drives are listed under device manager and are there any yellow exclamation mark on the same.
If you do see yellow exclamation mark right click and choose update driver software.
