Please Help Me With Dvd Player!

[lalala]

I had a problem with my DVD player, it just didn't read anny
DVD, or CD's annymore.

So, I bought a new DVD Player, but after installing the driver for it, I noticed that the new DVD player also doesn't read anny dvd's or cd's.

I formatted my computer and reinstalled windows XP Prof.

But still it did't read anny cd's or dvd's.

I also have a DVD Writer, but that one works fine!!!
And i did do the master slave thing with my dvd player and writer

But It just doesn't work. Please help me I don't know what to do!!!!

Does this mean that it was working, but suddenly stopped? If so can you remember doing anything (hardware or software changes) shortly before it stopped working?

Also:
Are you sure you have the latest driver? (check manufacturers website)
In device manager (control panel -> system -> hardware) what icon does the drive have next to it?
What is the name of the drive.

Go right to the beginning, and tell us if your BIOS finds the drive.

make sure the IDE and power cables are both plugged in...

...properly.

Whoaw, thnx for all your quick responces!!!

First of all, I have got the latest driver, and the device is according to the "device manager" working properly.

When I look at my BIOS settings,
I see that the secundary master is the DVD player
and the secundary slave is the DVD writer.

Also when I look at my computer i see the DVD Player, but when I put in a DVD/CD it doesn't do annything.

I bought the DVD Device from someone who took it out its computer, a packerd bell, maybe that is a reason???

But of that is sow why does my one and the packerd bell device doesn't work???

I reinstalled windows sow that could not be the problem....

Maybe...

I have no idea what that is...

[exeus]

there are differant regions out there for DVD's and if you change the setting (region)in your DVD player (on your comp) more then 4 times i think it is, the DVD player will not work on any comp(there may be a way around it i have never researched it)

The player won't even play CDs so it's not a region problem.

It sounds to me that the unit is defective. Is it still under warranty?

I flashed firmware once and it worked fine.
