do not know what. i am new to xp so any ideas would be appreciated. i have tried to open and close my cd or dvd drives, and also played or used each, but cannot get rid of the prompt

This is more of a troubleshooting step, but try unplugging the power to the optical drive(s) and then boot back into Windows to see if the flashing cursor is still there. Could be a faulty drive.
