A saying that I hope to make famous is "you can't fix hardware with software"
Sounds like your cdrom drive died. Couple of things to do. Open the case and reseat the ide cable at both the motherboard and the cdrom. Next get a boot diskette with cdrom drivers like a 98 startup disk or a ME boot disk and boot up on it. Can you access the cdrom drive? If not replace your cdrom drive.
