I would suggest cleaning the drive with a drive cleaner. And, if you have tried several CDs or DVDs with the same results, the drive is probably faulty and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps.

My HL-DT-ST RW/DVD Gcc-4522B is not reading any discs (DVD or CD) it spins them and then nothing comes up. When you explore the drive, there is nothing on the CD/DVD The Drive does show it is there. Drivers seem to be fine but this is the only thing i can think of which could be the problem.
