Is this the same drive that a week ago you reported would not recognise cds?
A lot of suggestions were posted there, but you did not bother replying to the thread.

Try inserting a burned dvd inside and check whether it can still detect it or not. If not, better consider replacing your dvd drive although this should be the last choice...
