I have looked in the explorer, it simply lists the drive as normal and does not show the disk. I double click on the drive and it says "Please insert a disk into drive E". Also, I am sure it is a DVD drive, as I remember clearly when it was bought that it was a DVD drive, and it also has the DVD-ROM symbol on the front.

This is the obvious dumb question....
Is this the first dvd disk you have tried and did you install the drivers for the dvd rom or let windows see it and install its own drivers.
