As I stated in the earlier post, a Karaoke CD only has 1 file per song, it contains both the lyric and audio in that one file.

You can't to the best of my knowledge copy that cda track to your hard drive and import it that way. You have to rip the cda file from the disk into another format like kma, mp3+G or zip which is what Hoster does before it imports it.
Now if it has been a long time since you imported CD perhaps your drive isn't capable of reading CD+G or perhaps it needs the lens cleaning or you don't have it selected right in your cd setup.
Not knowing which version of Hoster you have I can't tell you exactly how to find the settings but from the Tools menu on the top see if you have a CD/DVD drives appear and select that, a dialog should appear for you to select a drive for reading and to test that drive before saving.
Then I suggest you read the manual on importing CD tracks.
I should also point out that it is illegal to make a permanent copy of a disc unless you own the disk, that is why there is an import singers disc option for that case which only stores that track for that session.
