Try to disconnect the e drive and after try again the cd drive.
If still not working, and at boot you see that the BIOS recognize, it is possible that cd drive is broken.

If you are running XP the latest round of patches seem to have deleted some Optical drives up until now I've only heard of the patches adversely affecting the Burners but they can just as easily affect the Optical Drives. Try to do a System Restore and see if you get a message about changes to the Optical Drives being un-fixable if you go through with the restore.

If you get a message along those lines the latest patches have taken out your optical drives. If you do a system restore this cures your problems.
