Well from what I found out sometimes its not enough that you have mscdex under autoexec.bat but also config.sys ...
If its an IDE cd rom drive the easiest way I suggest is to download an universal driver 'or so it claims'..
Try www.windrivers.com, click on the utilities section, go under cd roms I think you might find that universal cd rom driver I'm talking about... try that first.
