CD ROM Problem

I am running out of easy solutions. My CD ROM drive will not play anything. Music CDs, Data CDs, Games etc. The Drive is recognized. When I put new CDs in the drive I get the access light. But nothing happens. If you try to run it just says "Please insert a disk in drive D:"

I have tried restoring to an earlier date, when I know the disk was working, no effect. Down loaded new drivers, nothing. No conflict showing up in the Device manger. Everything seems normal except it won't play. Of course I have booted it several times.

Here is the system profile: Dell system, Windows ME, PIII 1 Gig.
Intel Bios A06, and the primary suspect Samsung CDRW/DVD
SM-308B.

I am getting a new system soon, but I am giving this one to my sister so I want to get it running right.

Thanks for the help.

presumably the jumpers are set correctly for primary/secondary and cables are all seated correctly.
can you burn on it ?
if yes and no its probably a hardware fault

I had the same problem...except I use Windows XP. I don't find it to annoying if the OS isn't autoplaying the CD. Because I use XP, I don't quite remember how exactly ME's autoplay actually works but if you go into the properties of the CD ROM icon in the My Computer, find the autoplay function and turn it back on.

Have you even check out Microsoft's support site?

Thats what I was thinking.
The Drive has gone out twice before, but the computer was an warranty and they had to replace it.
