Try reseating the cables also, open your case and Examine the ribbon cable leading to the drive from the motherboard or another drive. Unplug and reconnect it, making sure it is secure on each end. Be certain the plug inserted into the back of the CD from the power supply is securely seated

Its a piece of piss, just make sure everything is turned off and follow the above instructions.

to uninstall the device right click on my computer > properties > hardware > device manager > then right click on your CD/DVD drive and then select uninstall > then reboot your pc.

Does the motor spin up at all once a cd is in?. Place a cd in a try and give it a quick spin when closing and see if it picks up speed and starts. If it does not spin up then your drive motor is knackerd and it's new CD/DVD player time

I coul dmaybe understand this but for it to happen to both drives at the exact same time seems a bit funny
