This is impossible. A cd-rom drive can not and never will read a dvd disc. A dvd disc has a totally different structure than a cd-rom disc; it even needs a different type of laser to be read.

If you mean "cd-rom" as in "my dvd player" then say so ;)

Some dvd discs are however hybrid dvd/cdrom discs. This means that there is a part on the disc which a cdrom player can read (because it is made with a different structure and laser). Such discs are extremely rare though and they also often don't quite work because of their non-standard nature.

If you mean "CD-Rom" as in the hardware player:
Then it isn't called a cd-rom player, but a dvd-player! (Every (PC) dvd player can handle cd-roms also)
