Unfortunately I have no idea. I only posted to say hope you solve it soon...

Have you tried restarting? That always solved things back when I used windows

...sorry about your trouble...

I'm guessing it's a hardware problem, since from what you said, EVERY single CD you try can't be read. And also since it's a problem I got from my previous computer's floppy drive (I think).

I'm not sure if it could be a driver(software) problem, although I seriously doubt it. But if so, go to the manufacturer's website and check if they have the latest driver and install that.

Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->System, then select Hardware, then Device Manager, and search for the drive in question. Click on properties to check if Windows show anything wrong with it, like a need for updated drivers.

At this step, you can actually click troubleshoot to figure out methods of solving, although usually it's pretty useless to me.

If it shows nothing wrong, then one of the things you can do is to reinstall the driver, or like I said, update from the website. If nothing works, then I can almost guarantee you it's a hardware problem.
