Any help would be appriciated,

Both of my CD-Rom drives work properly but when I
installed a game (warcraft 3) I tryed to pull up the game
and it told me that the disc was not detected, I had the
CD in. I tryed installing 4 other games (they all
installed) but when I tryed to play them they told me
that There was no CD detected.

Im not really sure why non of these games work, Ive
tryied to figure it out myself but I can not, so if
anyone can help I would Appriciate it alot.

Calvin, rt click on MyComputer>Select Prop>Hardware>Device Manager. Go to
IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers rt click on
Primary and select Properties>Advanced Settings. See if DMA is enabled. If
yes, change to PIO Mode. Do the same in
Secondary. If DMA is NOT enabled in either one then enable it in both.
