    Laptop does not play or recognize DVDs or CDs when I insert discs
    Nothing happens when I insert a DVD or CD into the DVD/CD disc drive on my laptop. It makes a sound like it is about to play it, but then nothing happens. I open "My Computer" and all it shows is the C Drive.

    Also, throughout the day the DVD/CD drive randomly opens even if I have no disc in there, and I haven't pressed any buttons.

    By the way, I am using a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition.

    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.

    What OS?

    When was last time worked?

I have a Panasonic CF-47 Toughbook, model year about 2000. It has a Pentium II, with a CDROM. My question is: Can this machine play a DVD? Of course it can play CDs, but I was wondering if CDs and DVDs are virtually the same, as far as my CDROM is concerned. Thanks for an answer.
