neither of my 2 drives(dvd writer/cd writer combo and the cd-rom) will read discs. both dvd's and cd's in both drives each appear as blank.
Is my computer screwed?
thanks for any help.
cheers

himm, update the drivers, right click my computer(cannot be a short cut)>properties>hardware tab>device manager> find the drivers and update them. Since both went out there might be some software inter fearing, uninstall any software you just installed, if that doesn't work then do a system restore point, your computer probably made one right before you installed it. and remember dust is always the culprit (never doubt physical interference) open up the computer and clean out all the dust near the drives, sata cords may have come out lose.

well it seems to be working. I tryed to update the drives but there was none available. I scanned and defraged the drives(It needed it anyways),then I turned the computer offand let it do the slow set up.
I don't know
There was also some updates for my computer but it said something about java so i don't think it was that.

I'm just glad it's working and if it ever happens again I'll know what to try from all your suggestions.
cheers
