Here is the amendment to the 2500 manual for using the CD drive

Maybe worth having a look at the amendment and seeing if that can help you. I never used the CD Drive to burn to disc, I've only used it to occasionally sample with.

try to burn a cd with no folders only samples and see if the mpc will read these. keep in mind that the samples have to be 16bit 44.1khz other formats are ignored by the mpc.
try a standard music cd (original or burned) to see if you can sample from that. if this does not work, your cd drive has a problem.
is it a original akai dvd drive or a third party drive (teac or other)?

peace, jo
