Dvd Drive Problem
I had the same problem this morning with my cd and dvd drives. This is what I did to fix it. It removed the little yellow exclamation symbols in device manager.

and then I did this:

my cd drive works now but I'm still having trouble with my dvd drive. It keeps telling me to insert a dvd when there is already one inside.
hope this helps!
you can also try this, which I took from the help and support center from troubleshooting:
Is there a problem with the driver for your device?
Important
- The following procedure might require you to restart your computer, which
Will close this troubleshooter. If possible, view this troubleshooter on another
Computer while you perform the steps on the computer you are
Troubleshooting.
The driver for your device
Might be corrupted. Or, your driver might not be compatible with Windows XP, and
You might need an updated version.
There is no obvious way to tell if your driver is corrupted. Uninstall and
Reinstall the driver, and then try to use your device again.
To uninstall the driver for your device
- Open
Device
Manager.
- Double-click the device category to display all devices in that category.
- Right-click the problem device, and then click Uninstall.
- In the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK.
- If you receive a message that prompts you to restart your computer, click Yes to restart.
Note
- To open Device Manager, click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Hardware
Tab, and then click Device Manager.
When you uninstall an existing driver and restart your computer, Windows
Should automatically detect your device and display a wizard that helps you
Reinstall the drivers for it. If this wizard does not appear, reinstall a new
Driver manually.
To reinstall a driver manually
- Close any open programs.
- Start the
Add
Hardware Wizard.
- Click Next, and wait for Windows to search for Plug
And Play hardware. Most newer hardware is Plug and Play, so you will rarely
Need to go beyond this step.
- If no Plug and Play hardware is found, you will be presented with a list of
Hardware types to choose from. Click Add a new hardware device, and then
Click Next.
- Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, and
Then click Next.
- In the Common hardware types list, click the appropriate hardware
Category, and then click Next.
- In the Manufacturers list, click the manufacturer of your hardware;
In the Models list, click the model name.
Or, click Have
Disk if you have an updated or third-party driver to install for your
Hardware.
- Click Next, and then follow the instructions on the screen to
Complete the installation.
Note
- To open the Add Hardware Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Printers and Other Hardware. Under See Also, click Add Hardware.
If reinstalling the driver does not work, check to see whether there is an
Updated driver available for your device. You are likely to need an updated
Driver if you started having problems with your device right after you upgraded
To Windows XP.
Try one of the following to search for an updated
Driver:
- Check the Windows Update Web site for an updated driver. To go to the
Windows Update Web site, click Start, point to All Programs, and
Then click Windows Update.
- Contact the manufacturer of your device, or visit the manufacturer's Web
Site, to see if an updated driver is available.
