    Insert a bootable cd and make sure the cd drive is at the top of the boot order in your bios. When you reboot does the system see the cd?

      It doesn't matter as long as it's bootable. We're try to find out if the drive works.

          Have you tried going to Device manager uninstalling the drive,then rebooting and letting Windows reinstall it for you ?

              i thought it working, when i tried to use the drive it said no disk inserted but then it went crazy again when i put the disk in, maybe the disks the problem
              edit: it was the disk, i have no idea whats wrong with it now argh, it was the last one!
