Solve : CD ROM drives not working?

1.	Solve : CD ROM drives not working?
Answer» Both my disk drives do not work any more. They used to read disks automatically, but now they dont read any at all. When ever I try to access it through "My Computer" a screen pops up and tells me the drive is inaccessable and the device is not ready. I really dont know anything about computers so any HELP is appreciated.thx.If this is winxp try this control panel/administrative tools/services/shell hardware detection/return this service to automatic. start/run/regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\Cdrom AutoRun = 1 --------------have a LOOK at this link for more info HTTP://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330135&Product=winxp>I dont really think it is a problem with the auto play. When I put a disk into EITHER the E or D drive it spins and all that, but WONT do anything else. Then when I slect the drive the same thing happens: a window pops up saying "E or D drive is inaccessable. The device is not ready."
