Well, if it can't view the data on a simple cd (that you're sure has data on it) it's quite possible the drive has burnt out... Did it just stop working alltogether one day or what?

It's possible that a short in the power supply could have shorted out the dvd drive...

If you're looking to replace it, it'd be a simple procedure, and I could recommend this (IDE) drive.
