ive tried plugging it into the back and side usb ports,no good doesnt work on the other laptop either,the usb ports work because i plugged my external hdd in there and it showed up,my laptops both have windows xp,the dvdwriter still works because i hear the dvd spinning....

most likely is the enclosure the drive is in that is going bye bye. if not under warranty then get a new enclosure that is right for your drive as in ide or sata interface.

if it works for your hd then your drive is the problem.
