my D drive which is a cd-rw drive is not reading when i put a disk in it or when i open up windows explorer to look at it, i have no idea whats wrong with it.
i use windows xp sp 2 home edition

Thanks,
Matt
 
i mostly use it to play games, so its used often
i havent installed any hardware
and there are no drivers that i have installed today, it was working yesterday.

the drive came with the computer and the computer is about 2 years old
 
dell use cheap low-quality hardware too maximise profits. the laser has probably died so you need to buy a new drive. They are only about £20 or $30USD where do you live??
 
heh i live in jersey, o well looks like theres more hardware to replace, i already replaced 2hds, the memory, video card, and the power supply

never going to buy a dell again.

btw thanks for the help, appreciate it.
 
sounds like it would of been cheaper for you to of built by yourself it normally is anyway. my gaming rig cost me £1600 on dell the same computer with all the stupid extras was £3400
 
heh my next computer is gonna be a mac book pro, i use them in school and they kick the sh** out of windows.
