Do you have a formatted (not blank) CD in the CD drive? (Is required for the read test to be successful)

I have the Drivers & Utilities CD in the drive because I was running a test

Does the drive work in normal operation? If it was trying to do write test then you would need a rewritable disk in there but any CD if just a read test.
