DVD/CDs are not being detected.

Vista Premium 32, coire 2 duo 3 ghz cpu on a gigabyte board. DVD/CDs are not being detected in either of my roms. Windows sees the roms, but inserting discs does nothing. Help?

How long has this been happening?


Shut down the computer and open the case....Disconnect the power from one of the CD/DVD drives, turn the computer back on and try the some discs in the drive that still has power and see if Windows recognizes the discs...
