Check that you have electrical power to the drive, i.e., push the button to open/close the tray.

Check that the "data" cable from the motherboard to the back of the drive is tightly-connected at both ends.

Or, spend $40, and buy a brand-new, CD/DVD, reader/writer, in order to replace the "dead" device.

I have a dell dimension 3000. I wiped the computer, installed OS disc, but it says FAIL every time I try to do anything with the utilities & drivers disc. I also have no internet because it won't...

Right click on My Computer>Manage>Device Manager>does your CD-ROM have a yellow ? or ! on it?
If so, then you somehow need to install a driver for your computer to recognize your drive. If you can get an external CD-ROM that connects to a USB port, maybe you can install the drivers that way. Once that CD-ROM is working, then you can get the drivers installed for your modem. Hope that helps!

My pc wont read any cd

Most likely your CD-Rom either needs to be cleaned or replaced. Try running a regular CD player cleaning disc in the ROM. If this doesn't get it working correctly, then you will have to replace the CD-ROM or buy an external ROM that hooks up with a USB cable.

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.

My cd rom will not load 18 wheels of steel big city rigs how can i get it to load when I put it in the cd rom it dose nothin

The game may not be a cd that is setup to auto-load.

Put the cd in, give about a minute and then go into My computer and where your cd-rom is in there it should show the cd loaded as it will have a name there of the cd. If it doesn't show something then the cd might be bad.

If it does show something then right click on the drive and choose open and then it will show you all the files on the cd, then choose setup to install the game.

Now back to the cd, if it doesn't show anything in my computer then try other cd's to make sure your cd-rom is still working cause if its not reading anything then your drive is bad and would need to be replaced.
