Did you just install Windows or did you just add the disc drive? Maybe you havn't installed the driver it needs to be recognized by your computer. What type of drive is it, what type of operating system do you use, and what have you done recently that might have messed it up?

the read head might be dirty, or you need to buy a new cd drive

Is it under warranty? That seems like the best option if it is defective. Maybe it was damaged and only worked for a short amount of time before scratching itself so much that it broke...

I really don't know how to help you. It is only a matter of time before some who knows what they're doing comes along...
