Hello,

Does your drive recognize CD-ROM or CD-R disks, or problem is with DVD disks only?

The drive doesn't reconize any disk, marvin

Maybe your DVD drive is death. It worked before?. Did you replace something on your computer?

Do you see the DVD drive on "My computer"?

If you open your PC, and disconnect and connect disks, maybe you failed to connect the IDE cable or power cable.
