Error when using WMI class to get info on External CDROM Drive

System.Management.ManagementException: Provider failure

I am getting this error when trying to get information on an external
CD Rom Drive using WMI class Win32_CDROMDrive. Any ideas? The
computer is a Tablet PC and is running XP. It is connected to a
docking station which the CD drive is plugged into.

The properties I am trying to detect are:
"Caption", "Drive", "Manufacturer"
