I tried to put a cd into my cd drive and its not playing it. It doesn't open
the folder when i click on the disk drive in my computer. In Windows media
player it says "please insert disk" I checked device manager and it says that
my cd/dvd drive is working properly.
Any one know how to fix this problem?
 
Depending on the age of the optical drive, you could use a standard CD
cleaning kit or just replace the drive. The lasers are either dirty or
dead. Of course, if it's still under guarantee, get it replaced by the
manufacturer.

Replace the drive.
