If you plug in a Flash drive does it see that? If you plug in a USB printer?
... If nothing works then USB ports could be disabled or lack proper drivers.
... if printer works but flash drive will not then there could be software blocking new drive letters. Libraries and businesses often disable additional drives so that you cannot install or take software, or run unknown, potentially infected programs from flash drives, etc.
If you plug this CD-Rom into another W7 computer can it be seen there?
... If no then I suspect the CD-Rom drive may be bad
