You probably still have the CD as a software source

to deactivate the CD as a software sourec do the following :

menu : System->Administration->Software Sources
enter your password
uncheck the check-boxes linked to CDs (in box installable from CD-ROM/DVD)
click Close and Reload

You still have the CD listed in your sources list.

In a terminal issue this command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

This will start gedit text editor and load your sources list

Put a # sign in front of first lines that say "deb cdrom" . Save gedit and quit

That should remove your problem.

Then in a terminal input: sudo apt-get update

And : sudo apt-get upgrade.

That will uodate and upgrade your sources list and the problem should not reapppear.
