Is it possible for the drive to lose the ability to read DVDs yet still be able to read a data or music cd?

Looks like I've hit a wall with this situation. A search for drivers on the net showed that Delta have given up supplying drivers!

Right I'm found the floppy disk that came with this DVD player - trouble is it says "Driver for MS-DOS & Windows 3.1"
I've double clicked it but it starts asking all sorts of questions I don't know...

Ah ha - it's a Delta. (Whoever they are lol).

How can I find out the make of it though, because if I go into Device Manager it's just got the generic crap: Atapi 12x DVD-ROM.

Both. If I put a DVD in you can hear the drive searching but it finds nothing. Double click on the drive in "My Computer" and it says the drive is empty.

If I put a CD in, say a music CD or a data CD it reads those fine but when I put a DVD in it just won't reconise them!

Any idea what this could be folks?

Thanks
