cd-rom drive is not working

My CD-rom is not reading CDs/DVDs. It tries to read, but nothing happens
after few seconds. Is there anything I can do? By the way, I'm using windows
vista.

Try another CD drive.

I would suspect some Permissions problem. Rightclick the Command prompt icon
on the Start menu, then 'run as administrator', then try to log that drive
('cd d:\' or whatever drive letter) If the command DIR reads the drive, it's
a Permissions problem.
