Solve : I cant access the CD drive?

Answer»

Whenever I insert a CD or DVD, it will not let my open it.
It just sits there, in the My Computer WINDOW, and doesn't ever open.
What could the problem be?A dying CD drive? The optics go long before the mechanics fail. That is, the tray continues to be able to open/close, but it will not function.Quote
