Hey, I own a DVD-RW drive which doesn't seem to want to recognize my disk. I put the disk in and all it does is come up with the cursor with the little cd on it. If I open it via My Computer, it says there is nothing in the drive. Help!

Do you see it in device manager? If so click on the + sign & uninstall it & re boot the computer. Windows should recognise the device

Just tried that, it reinstalled the driver but it still won't open my disk. It says that there is nothing on it.

HAve you tried a different disc? Such as a movie? Please post the system specs of the computer this Drive is installed in. MAke and Model system or motherboard if custom built, Processor, Video, Ram, OS, Hdd, Make and model DVD Drive.
