If I understand you right you want to sort data in specific column in
Excel97. I think there is the function in menu Data/Sort.

In case of your CD, if you have CDR medium there can be various problems you
can meet. The CDROM drive you have can have problems reading CDR media of
some colors (blue, green, gold). It seems you have older drive, so this can
be the problem. You would better to try to read your CD in the other drive
(newer one with 16x and more speed).
What CDR drive was your CD burned on? Some older CDR drives make
incompatible CDs for some CDROM drives. You can try to read your CD in CDR
drives.
If your CD is CDRW medium there are few CDROMs which can read this CDs but
this is not yours I think. You can try to read your CD in CDRW drive

Hope I help you.
