I have dvd reader/CD writer that was working one day, and 2 days later suddenly was not. The first indication of a problem was when I tried to burn a CD, and it kept giving me the message that the drive was busy. Now, though the device manager says everything is working properly, the drive won't read any CDs or DVDs. When one is inserted, it simply clicks a couple of times and then nothing. The light is blinking continually as well. Can anyone help me with this? I am supposed to be receiving DSL software in the next day or two, but I won't be able to load it on my computer without a functioning CD drive.

Its possible that one of the servo motors in the drive have conked off. In this case, you can either take it in for repair, or get a new drive.
