   DVD Drive Problem

   I'm using XP Pro SP3.   
      
   My DVD drive  used to work OK.  However, now my computer no longer   
   recognizes that a DVD is in the DVD drive.  It keeps telling me to   
   insert a disk.   
      
   However, it will recognize my Acronis True Image Boot disk when I   
   place it in and allow me to get into Acronis when I boot.  I think   
   that's called Safe Mood?   
      
   I hooked up an outboard disk player that used to work, and I get the   
   same message when in Windows.  Namely, it tells me there is no disk in   
   the player/recorder.   
      
   The DVD drive icon does appear in File Explorer.  When I click on it,   
   it keeps giving me the message that there is no CD/DVD in the drive.   
      
   I am positive both of these drives are good.   
      
   Anyone recognize the problem?
