No exclamation marks or x's or anything. It just says "MAT****A UJDA330 ATA Device" I tried a few things from this page http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-hardware/my-disc-drive-wont-read-discswhat-should-i-do/676c416a-e350-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5 I tried the updating software thing but it just said that the drive was fine and didn't need to update it. I didn't try uninstalling it and rebooting, because I don't know how to install it again if I uninstall it. I downloaded and tried microsoft fixit, but that didn't help either, it said that there was 1 problem that needed fixed. But it didn't fix it or tell me how to fix it /facepalm

I just got a new laptop (well, new for me, it was secondhand) I have tried to put a couple of cd's and dvd's in the cs-rw drive, but it won't recognise them :? It just says "Please insert a disk into Drive E" and then it pops open. Any ideas how I can fix this? I don't really fancy having to have an external one lol. Is it something a complete moron (i.e me) would be able to fix or will I need to take it somewhere to be fixed? If I did need to take it to be fixed, any idea how much that would cost?
