my cd drive, doesn't seem to be working.
whenever i put in a cd, it doesn't automatically open it like before.
and whenever i try to go into My Computer and open it from there, it says that the disk is not formatted.
but it says that for every cd i put in, even blanks.
i can't even burn cd's damnit.
any idea, anyone?

Go to the device manager, disk management,tic the plus sign on "Disk Drives", and right tic on the offender. Select "uninstall" and restart the computer. This reloads the drivers, which have become corrupt.

just open up the cabinet of your system and try to unplug and then plug the data cable (White broad cable) attached to your cd drive.but unplug it from both the motherboard and the cd and then replug it once again.
