cd drive not working

Last week some updates were installed on my computer before I left for the
weekend, when I got back, my cd drive wasnt working. Ive tried to system
restore it back to when it was working, but nothing happened. Can anyone
help? Thanks.

Re: cd drive not working

Thanks for the help, but that didnt work. Is there anything else I can try,
or should I just take it somewhere to be repaired?
