Stupid DVD drive.......

Ok, so i'm new to the boards and i hope that someone out in these
boards might be able to help me. Here's the problem, as i was
ripping music onto my computer my dvd drive popped out an error
saying something about unable to copy music, something or other.
Anyways, the major problem now is that i can't get my dvd drive to
read or play any discs.. :(. I've checked the device manager and it
says it works fine, but stupid microsoft tells me nothing but lies,
LIES, i tell you! Please can someone help me out? I'm sure there are
some computer geniuses out there that can give me some idea of whats
wrong with my drive and hopefully make it work. Any advice would be
greatly appreciated....Thanks in advance.
