It is probably a simple matter of the CD-ROM drive being
incapable of reading that media.

That drive may work with another brand of CDR disc,
or it just may be too old.

What format did you use to create the CD? Windows 95 cannot read UDF
without assistance. See, for instance:

Also, the W95 system might have problems reading a CD created with CDFS if
the CD hasn't been closed.
