Default cd rom is not accessable

I have an S-1675CDS laptop that's fairly old. I can read any cd that is
created by a professional company but cannot read a cd that is created by me
or anyone that sends a cd to me. I get the error: "D: is not accessable. The
device is not ready"

what is happening? Any help is appreciated.

Try cleaning the CD drive.

It is quite possible that the CD is simply not compatible with the types of
writeable CD media that you are trying to use, especially if it is a very
early model.

If it's been created as a write-once CD then W98 might have troubles with it
if it's not closed.

If it's been created using a re-writeable format then you will need
additional software to access it. This is usually included as part of
CD-recording software, so it probably already exists on machines that have
writeable CD drives. But it can be installed separately for other machines.

See, for instance:
