Default Outlook 2007 beta CD will not install

My computer (733 MHz Celeron) meets the requirements of the 2007 beta
i.e. "Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack (SP) 2, 500 megahertz (MHz)
processor or higher; 256 megabyte (MB) RAM or higher". It does not
even see the CD in the drive. When I put the install CD in another
computer that is a Pentium 4, it sees the CD. However, I do not want
to instll the beta on that machine.

That's odd. Are these two machines networked? You could share the CD drive
on machine B to access from machine A?

Sorry, I have no other reasonable solution.

In addition to William;
Are you sure that it is on a CD and not a DVD? If it is on a DVD you'll need
a DVD-drive instead of a CD drive.

That is probably the issue. I ordered the Beta from Microsoft. The
machine that can "see" it has a DVD/CD drive the other just has a CD
drive.
