I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
My DVD drive recently stopped working. It would open, and it showed up in device manager, but wouldn't spin or read anything. I attempted to update the driver, but when I downloaded it my system wouldn't recognize the device the driver belonged to. I then installed a new DVD drive but had the same problem. I just now installed a new IDE cable... same problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
