I am having trouble with my dvd-rom drive. When I power up my pc everything seem fine until I insert a dvd disk. The drive dosen't think there is a disk in there. It keeps coming up with "please insert a disk". I'm at my wits end.
any ideas will much be appreciated.

i had the same probelm. I took the whole damn thing appart, and found that the IDE/interface pin was slightly pushed in. This made my system see a CD, but was unable to detect the actual data (so I saw the 'Please incert CD" under winXP, a small CD icon flashes over the mouse arrow that told me a CD was in, but explorer didn't see it. Try your luck finding a pun that isn;t sticking out enough_good luck fixing it. I gave up and bought a new one for 50 bucks_;)
