not work.

Verify that the disc is inserted correctly, with its label up.
v
Make sure that the disc you are using is clean. To remove
dust or fingerprints, wipe the CD with a clean, soft cloth from
the center to the outside. Wiping the CD in a circular
direction might cause loss of data.

Verify that the disc you are using is good and not scratched
or damaged. Try inserting another disc that you know is
good. If you cannot read from a known-good disc, you might
have a problem with your drive. Check that the power-supply
cable and signal cable are securely connected to the drive (see
“Chapter 5. Installing options” on page 37 for cover removal
instructions).

Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to verify that
the drive is enabled (see “Chapter 4. Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 31).

programs (see “Running the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics
program” on page 66). If you need technical assistance, see
