Behind closed eyelids. In very many cases, the visionary quality, the quality of the vision so to say, spills over, into the external world, so that the experiencer, when he opens his eyes, sees the outer world transfigured
You could try uninstalling, then reinstalling the driver. Go to My Computer, right click then choose properties. Under Hardware, choose Device Manager.Locate your DVD/CD ROM drive from the list. Right click and choose uninstall. Reboot your PC and the drive will be found and reinstalled.
If it stopped working without a reason, it's probably drive failure. Now's your chance to upgrade to something better than the stock HP drive. Check out the Samsung SH-S203B if your computer supports SATA drives.
thx to all, will try the above rec's and respond back!!

Does a different DVD work? or will it not read any DVD. There are still odd DVDs which will not load in some machines. I did have a computer once that would not read DVD audio disks, while regular DVDs did fine. Be sure that it does not read a DVD, or perhaps even CDs before condemning the hardware.
Anytime you think of it is a good time to search for new firmware/drivers for a device.
If it's a home grown DVD and if you have an older DVD drive, some of them were sensitive to the DVD+R vs the DVD-R vs DVD Ram. It's only been within the last couple of years that the drives would read DVD+R's and DVD-R's. Retail dvd movies are in the DVD-R format and most of the DVD recorder drives in computers used to be DVD+R.
