Your question is not very clear.

Do yiu want a list of all CD drives on a system, or a list of the contents of a CD?

Solution 2

C#

// Get all drives on system and loop through them
System.IO.DriveInfo[] drives = System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives();
foreach (System.IO.DriveInfo drive in drives)
{
    // Is this a CD drive?
    if (drive.DriveType == System.IO.DriveType.CDRom)
        Console.WriteLine(drive.Name);
}
