My Cd rom drive not working properly

[biggtree]

My cd-rom drive is powered up and windows does not detect any errors in it.  It will not read the discs for some reason tried cd rom and audio discs.  I tried uninstalling the driver and then reinstalling it but that didnt work.  When i have a cd in the drive and i click on the d drive in my computer it says incert a cd.  If any one can give me some ideas what i should try and do next it would be greatly appreciated.

                Thx

How old is the drive / Have you tried more than 1 cd / tried another data cable?  If so on both accounts, then you probably have a bad drive & need to replace it.

Test it on another computer. Same result? Replace unit.
