DVD burner doesn't read CD's
Well i have heard of this happening.. But my DVD burn won't read blank CD's or it won't read pc games... The Burner does still read and burn DVD's... did the laser inside just get messed up? or did it break?
when i put in a CD the light blinks about three times and you can here it spinning.. then it all just stops... and if you go to my computer it shows there is nothing in the drive...
Any suggestions?

did you check for firmware update for the Drive. You can find it on support.dell.com >> Drivers and downloads.
and also delete the upper/lower filters from theh registry. Dont forgeore t to take a backup of the registry before you make changes.
This is the microsoft article you can refer to: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B314060&x=12&y=13
REGISTRY BACK UP
Start>> Run>> type "regedit" >> OK
Go to "File" >> "Export" >> select all at the bottom and give a name to the file, and save it. Make sure you remember the path of the file.
Incase, it happened after certain hardware or software changes then, do a system restore first.
