1. What do you mean it looks like the CD drive is unplugged? Can you
not see the drive in Windows Explorer or view the contents? The fix for
a squirrely CD drive is often to remove the drive from Device Manager
and reboot, letting the OS redetect it.
Also, Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management,
right click and select Change Drive Letter and Paths, edit the drive
letter (even if it is not changed).
2. Dunno.
3. You might need to set up an IrDA network connection:
