Change your SATA cable or IDE cable and change it into a new one bro. because it occurred that your cable have experience an electrical shock when you plug it into its socket while in on line mode.

First open the "Device Manager" to check for any error messages related to the device and click on "Start" and select "Control Panel" .

Now double-click on the "System" icon then click on the "Hardware" tab and click the "Device Manager" button. A new window appears, and displays whether the device is working properly. If there are any errors, click the "Troubleshoot" button and follow the given onscreen instructions.

Check the DVD that you are trying to use to and ensure that it is free of dirt and scratches and the proper format compatible with your drive.

Now uninstall any drivers that may be on your computer from previous DVD drives.

Now download the latest driver updates for your DVD drive model from Dell website & install it.

Also check on Dell website that your machine has the minimum requirements to operate the drive.

Now restart your computer & check your DVD drive.
I hope issue has been resolved.

I put the cd rom into the drive and nothing happens. I go to click on the icon under my computer and it causes the window not to respond.

Confirm that the CD drive is not a CD-ROM dive and the CD you are trying to open is is not a DVD. CD-ROM drive wil not open a DVD ROM and in some cases will cause the system to stop responding if youtry to run it.

Stiffy drive don't respond and DVD Rom spin but don't read CD.

Try different discs to determine whether it's the disc or the drive. If it's the drive the the lens on drive might be dirty, try cleaning it with proper "Cleaning CD" if that doesn't help the drive it self might be going out (as in the mechanical parts on the drive). In the later case the only solution is buy a new drive.

Dvd drive not responding with dvd but getting responded to a cd.......how can this be rectified..........pls tell me the trouble shooting way

This is because your optical drive has gone bad. The CD and DVD uses two different lasers to read cds or dvds. The dvd laser has gone bad and the drive will have to be replaced.

DVD drive some time works, some time does not

first try uninstalling the dvd drive go to start/control panel/system/hardware/device manager look for dvd/cd-rom drives right click dvd - uninstall reboot afterwards so winxp will re-install drivers if this does not work, go to toshiba.com look for downloads for your dvd/cd drives just make sure you have the right model so the file you download will be exact and correct
