It really depends on the type of CD-Rom used. If it's a SATA CD-ROM than it may be tricky. Find out what chipset or controller you are using for your CD-ROM (the southrbridge IDE controller? The SATA controller? A secondary onboard controller? Once you find out which one it is, do a litle research (Google) and see if others have the same problems. You may need to load drivers on the CD or witht he "F6" method of loading the driver from floppy. If that's the case and you don't havea floppy, use www.nliteos.com to make a custom XP CD with the drivers you need.
If all else fails, download a Linux LiveCD, slap it in and see if that works. It's a great way to test your hardware.
