    So windows explorer will not show a disc is in the drive?

    Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any software or hardware that you installed or setup.


    Check device mgr to see if any yellow marks present.

    What you can do is to go to device mgr and right click on the drive and choose uninstall and say OK - once drive is uninstalled, restart computer and computer should pick up the cd rom drive and install the driver for it and see if it works

    You can try to update the drive firmware also
