To disable CD ROM and USB device, I am giving you administrative template into the group policy, as a .adm file. If you are not sure how to do this then please don't not follow the same.

I don't think by default group policy offer a facility to disable the drives like removable media, usb ports, cd rom etc. Group Policy can be customized by doing changes in the adm templates. ADM Templates offer administrator to disbale the drives of the device, which cannot be used.
