Windows troubleshooting is worthless in this case since Windows cannot determine the status of whether the drive can read or not.

6B25050 is the model of your hard drive. (Maxtor doesn't make optical drives) binkie7 was asking for the model of your DVD-RW drive, which is probably an HP 640b

Did you try a blank CD?

Does it recognize pressed CD/DVD?
Does it recognize other burned "CD-DVD?

In any case it appears that your drive has become defective and needs to be replaced.

Yep could be on it's way out. That last firmware update on this was 5/2006.
Update the firmware - my guess is you may have never updated it - the latest is E223.

tried dailun suggestions, not recognising any CD/DVD whatsoever burned or not. Also done what blinkie7 said. Firmware update to no avail. Any ideas for drive replacement would be welcome. Thanks again for your assistance.

Pioneer and LiteOn are my favs.
If you are in the US check out newegg.com - you can pick up one for under $35.
Check out this link too on drives - link
