Do you have your CD-ROM set to autorun?

If you do it has likely installed a "helpful" player app that's doing
this.  From the moment you first inserted the CD, you'll only be able
to play the CD from that app and the CD will be hidden for all other
purposes.  Lovely.

Autorun can be disabled in the registry.

Unfortunately now that the player app is on your PC you have to remove
it, but it may hide or leave traces of itself behind.  The most
infamous example is the Sony/BMG debacle, which was a rootkit.  Truly
nasty.
