Which way round?

You want to stop people from downloading stuff onto your machines or you want some kind of copy protection for your app?

If the latter then that involves a hell of a lot of stuff to do by ways of password protection and licensing etc.

If the former, the drive can be disabled through the os.

Be more specific in your question.

This is not possible.
If something (a program on your CD, the operating system etc) can read and use the date on the CD, then the users may save the "read" data on their HDD, i.e. make a copy.
Sorry. It is conceptually impossible. You can make something read-only, but not write-only (and useful).
