Not recognizing CD's or DVD's

Hi all,

I have just found that my computer does not recognize cd's or dvd's.  I am trying to burn them into itunes.  I have restarted my computer a couple of times and no luck.  I have tried to watch a dvd but no luck either.  I receive no error message.  The cd drive opens and closes, the light flashes then nothing.  I have a Dimension E520, bought only June last year.  This has only just happened within that last day or so.  I was able to burn cd's into itunes about 1 week ago.  I am not all that computer knowledgeable so any help would be appreciated.

Hi, bundybabe:

 

Please work through these standard troubleshooting steps, including the diagnostics.

 

By the way, I assume what you are trying to do is copy audio discs into your iTunes collection, correct? "Burn" refers to making a CD from files already on the computer. Just want to make sure we're on the same page.
