im running on win xp pro,my cd rom drive isnt working properly.When I click on it just shows me all blank.My comp does recognize it,it just shows me all blank and ive used many diff cds.I ve checked devicemanager and the cables if there connected properly and nothing.Anyone have an idea?

a couple of ideas comes to mind! the optics are burnt out so it will not read and shows blank. It has a bad cable which will show as recognised from the system but still not work A bad PSU will cause similar problems as there just is not enough power to let it operate properly. The drivers are corrupted and needs to be reinstalled. If you have another one to substitute then it would tell you about what issues you may be having with it.
