    DVD Drive not working

    Windows XP .
    Drive shows in my computer.
    Tried deleting from device manager .
    tried deleting the upper and lower case .
    Also the link for mr fix it .
    The hour glass keeps spinning and nothing happens .
    Could the drive have gone bad ?
    Thanks

    Did you try booting from a CD/DVD? Did you try swapping the drive?

    No haven't tried that . By swapping the drive do you mean the ribbons inside the box ?

    No. Swapping means using a known good CD drive and replacing the suspect drive.
