Your best bet is to go to the CD drive manufacturer's support site and download then install the latest drivers.

If you don't feel competent to do it yourself, find someone who is, and get them to open your computer up to check that the CD drive's power lead and motherboard lead are connected properly at both ends of the cables.

You haven't said, but I'm assuming you've got a desktop computer?

In that case, you need to unzip the contents of the file before you use it.

This freebie should do the job for you: 7-Zip

Just unzip the downloaded file, and then run the installer.
