If it's happening to all DVD then something may be keeping the drive busy/in use or the drive could be bad.

Quote:wats the ide channeland how do i uninstall it
Your drives are connected to an IDE controller on the motherboard, you should have two channels (primary and secondary channels). The primary and secondary channels can be uninstalled along with what ever is connected to them, find the channel the drive is connected to and uninstall it.
goto:-->start--control panel--->system
The next thing to do is to click the ?Hardware? tab at the top of the screen. From here you need to hit the ?Device Manager? button.
Under device manager you need to find your drive, normally found under ?IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers?.
Determine if your drive is connected to the primary or secondary channel, usually the hard drive is connected to the primary with optical drives connected to the secondary. So if it's the secondary channel, right click on it and choose uninstall, reboot, and everything should be reinstalled upon rebooting. When this is done, recheck the drive.
Once you know what you have, click on this link and enter the model# of your drive to search for an update if one is available.

If an update is available, just click on the new version to download the file, then run it to apply the update
